Gallegos is accused of stealing the money when he worked in the accounting department at the First Nation south of Saskatoon.

RCMP were alerted on Sept. 6 but were unable to find Gallegos and believed he had fled to his native El Salvador.
Gallegos is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.
