Google News SE — Crime (sv) reports that a man who worked at a Piteå shop for twelve years is now being charged with serious fraud. According to the prosecution statement, he allegedly registered fictitious returns in the till system and transferred the money to his own accounts.
The prosecutor claims that the man carried out unauthorised transactions on 131 occasions and appropriated a total of 289,884 kronor. The crime is classified as serious with reference to the fact that it occurred systematically over a long period and involved substantial sums.
It was the retail chain's security department that raised the alarm after noticing a number of unusual transactions. Upon review, it emerged that refunds had been registered to the same bank card at times when the shop had not yet opened.
