Prosecutors say the former musical director for the United Nations and Arsenio Hall's TV show has been arrested on suspicion of embezzling $750,000 from an overseas charity concert for homeless children.

The U.S. Attorney's office says Monday that Robin DiMaggio could face wire fraud charges. It wasn't known if he has an attorney.

Prosecutors say DiMaggio was wired $750,000 after agreeing to help the Peace for You Peace for Me Foundation to organize a concert in Bulgaria.

He allegedly offered to gather celebrity artists for the charitable concert to raise funds for children displaced from conflict zones, according to NBC News.

Officials say instead of putting the money in escrow to pay artists, the 47-year-old used it to pay personal expenses such as credit card debt and cars.

DiMaggio also used $251,370 of the money 'to purchase a Calabasas home for his ex-wife,' prosecutors said according to Fox News.

When the sponsors of the concert wanted their money back after delays, DiMaggio responded that the cash had been deposited with the celebrities.

Court records obtained by NBC say the sponsor sued DiMaggio, who filed for bankruptcy, and a $1.2 million summary judgment was awarded to the sponsors in bankruptcy court but it had not been formally entered by the court.

After his arrest, DiMaggio has to wear a tracking device until a hearing next month in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles after he was freed on $40,000 bond.

DiMaggio has worked with the UN on numerous events as musical director and played drums on the short-lived return of the Arsenio Hall show.

In his career as a drummer, DiMaggio has also collaborated with artists like Paul Simon, Diana Ross, Steve Vai and Chris Isaak.
