(MENAFN- The Peninsula) An Indian in the UAE, who had access to her employer's bank account, faces charges for allegedly embezzling more than Dh247,000 (about $67,000), media reported yesterday.
The Dubai Court of First Instance heard that the 38-year-old woman, a manager, who had been given a power of attorney by her Kuwaiti employer to run her art gallery, allegedly abused that power and embezzled money, the Khaleej Times reported. She has been charged with forgery, breach of trust and fraud. The accused allegedly committed the fraud between February 2012 and July 2013. She would tamper with the original bills and increase the figures to embezzle the difference, according to prosecution records.
The alleged fraud first came to light after she left the company and a French sales manager took over. A formal audit concluded she had embezzled over Dh247,000.
