Regarding the rabbi who supervise the restaurant and is accused of financial crimes.
An accusation alone would not suffice to make him pasul for eidus. We would need two proper witnesses testifying to his crime.
Now, even if he were found to be a gazlan, he would still be reliable as a mashgiach. See YD 2:6 that someone who is pasul for eidus is reliable to be a shochet unless he is a mumar for gezel. To be a mumar, he would have to do it 3 times (pri megadim on shach 2:19).
So, until we have proper testimony that he stole 3 times, we can rely on him.
