Authorities arrested a 69-year-old man on Tuesday, accusing him of embezzling $600,000 from a 97-year-old woman and using part of the money to buy himself a 2007 Lamborghini worth nearly $200,000.

Charged with exploitation of the elderly was Joseph Cirillo of Sarasota, Fla., NBC station WFLA TV reported.

Deputies said that since March, Cirillo moved nearly $600,000 from Seidel's financial accounts to his personal accounts. The Lamborghini was purchased in July, deputies said, after Cirillo plunked down two checks totaling $181,229 drawn on accounts to which the victim's money was transferred.
