Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The executive director of the state's largest labor union has resigned after California Attorney General Rob Bonta charged her and her husband with a slew of offenses, including grand theft, embezzlement, tax evasion and perjury.

In a statement on Wednesday, The Service Employees International Union California, which has 700,000 members, said it had accepted the resignation of Alma Hernandez.

"Any misuse of funds is unacceptable, and we are committed to doubling down on our efforts to ensure that all officers and staff adhere to the highest level of ethical and financial conduct," the union said.

The announcement of her resignation came hours after Bonta announced that Hernandez and her husband, Jose Moscoso, were charged on Oct. 4 as a result of a multiagency investigation that allege the couple committed crimes going back to at least 2014.
