Russian Accountant Embezzles 2.5 Million Rubles Using Fake Expenses
A former chief accountant in the Biysk district of Altai Krai has been convicted of embezzling nearly 2.5 million rubles. The woman, whose name remains undisclosed, admitted her guilt and received a sentence involving a substantial fine and probation. The woman, who held the position of chief accountant for three years, abused her authority to commit the crime. She created fictitious expense requests to siphon off funds, totaling approximately 2.5 million rubles. The stolen money was then transferred to her personal card using her electronic signature, and spent on personal needs. The court found her guilty of fraud through abuse of office. She admitted her guilt, leading to a sentence that included a fine of 200,000 rubles. Additionally, she was placed on probation for three years, with a suspended term of three years. This means she will face imprisonment if she commits another crime during this period. The convicted woman's actions have resulted in a significant financial loss. Her abuse of power and subsequent conviction serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability and ethical conduct in positions of trust.
