A 54-year-old man will be produced at the Nadi Magistrates Court today charged with allegedly fraudulently obtaining $430,000 whilst employed as a bank teller in 2017.
Police say the Criminal Investigations Department’s Major Fraud Economic Crime Unit investigated two reports whereby the accused allegedly processed unauthorized withdrawals and signed for custody and control asset documents for the two victims, a 70-year-old businessman and a 37-year-old businesswoman, without their knowledge.
They say the sum of $430,000 was withdrawn from their accounts.
Both have been charged with 2 counts of Obtaining Financial Advantage-Contrary to Section 326(1)(a)(b)(c) of the Crimes Act 2009 and 2 counts of General Dishonestly-Causing a Loss-Contrary to Section 324(1) of the Crimes Act 2009.
