A Brownsville man turned himself in to police after investigators linked his bank account to an embezzlement scheme involving his wife, according to the Harlingen Police Department.

On Aug. 18, Eduardo Nava — the husband of Yuliana Perez — surrendered to authorities for his alleged involvement in the case.

Perez was previously identified as the former HR finance director, accounts payable and payroll employee for Valley Cancer Associates. She was arrested on Aug. 4 after police said an investigation revealed she had embezzled over $750,000 from the clinic over a period of nearly one year starting in May 2025.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by Channel 5 News, Perez diverted the company funds to four personal bank accounts through 87 transactions.

"The fraudulent transactions were concealed by disguising them as legitimate business expenses using vendors with whom the company regularly conducted business," police said.

During the investigation, detectives identified a bank account belonging to Nava that investigators say was used as part of the embezzlement scheme.

Investigators determined that Nava was aware of the alleged scheme and that his account was used in connection with the misappropriated funds.

Nava faces a theft by possession charge. His bond was set at $45,000.
