Joint State and Local Law Enforcement Investigation
September 16, 2025
Oakland, CA — On September 15, 2025, District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced that the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Consumer, Environmental, and Worker Protection Division secured a court order of restitution against Ferooz Nangeyali and Alexandra Nangeyali, the co-owners of Alfa Private Security in Union City. Defendant Ferooz Nangeyali pleaded guilty to felony wage theft and insurance premium fraud.
In September of 2021, the California Department of Insurance opened an investigation into workers’ compensation insurance fraud and employee wage theft committed by the owners of Alfa Private Security, an armed security company operating in the Bay Area. The 4-year joint investigation with the California Department of Insurance and the California Labor Commissioner’s Office, in conjunction with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, involved an extensive review of Alfa’s workers’ compensation policies, its financial records, and interviews of former employees who claimed they were not lawfully compensated for working regular and overtime hours.
The resolution in this case is the result of a successful collaboration between the California Department of Insurance, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office, and the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. “We are grateful for the assistance of the California Labor Commissioner’s Office and the Department of Insurance. Through our joint efforts, over $200,000 will be returned to dozens of workers who were cheated out of their hard-earned income,” said DA Jones Dickson.
“The resolution of this case is a major win for the employees who were victimized by greedy individuals looking to profit at the physical and emotional expense of others,” said Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. “I would like to thank the Alameda District Attorney’s Office and the California Labor Commissioner’s Office for their hard work and dedication on this case, as they partnered with my detectives to put a stop to the egregious actions of these individuals. Together, we are sending a clear message that insurance fraud is a crime and punishable in a court of law.”
California Labor Commissioner Lilia Garcia-Brower applauded the outcome of this investigation. “Wage theft and insurance fraud not only create unfair competition, they also rob workers of the pay and protections they deserve. By working closely with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and other enforcement partners, we are holding violators accountable and safeguarding the rights of workers across California,” said Garcia-Brower.
The prosecution has located 37 of the 81 individuals identified as victims of wage theft. The court ordered that the defendants pay restitution of $210,652 to those defrauded workers, and to repay $80,872 to the State Compensation Insurance Fund, reflecting their loss based on ongoing criminal misrepresentations by defendant Ferooz Nangeyali and his wife, Alejandra.
Ferooz Nangeyali and Alejandra Nangeyali are scheduled to return to court for further proceedings on November 4, 2025, in Department 11 of the René C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland. Mrs. Alejandra Nangeyali is responsible, along with her husband, for full restitution to all victims, and will have her charges dismissed in a year if the victims are repaid and she is of good conduct. If you were an employee of Alfa Security and believe you are owed back wages, please contact the Alameda County District Attorney’s office at Ask.CEPD@acgov.org or by calling 510-383-8600.
