One of two things: either his notions of arithmetic had become dull enough over the years; or his company harbored an unscrupulous employee. In both cases, there was no money in the cash box.
11,000 euros in damage
By plunging his nose into the accounts, the manager of a transport company de Toulouse had the unpleasant surprise of discovering a hole at the end of 2021. He filed a complaint with the police. Very quickly, the suspects related to one of its employees.
This 41 year old man also held the position of works council treasurer. Overall, the investigation established that 17 checks had been diverted for personal use, over a period of four years, for environmental damage €11,000.
Discovered and in debt, he cracks
Summoned to the police station on Friday April 8, 2022, the dishonest employee “recognized the facts”, from a police source. He would have explained that he found himself overdrawn and in debt, and having wanted to repay his credits by diverting this money. He pledged to return the funds.
He will know his judicial sentence in August, after having agreed to to plead guilty.
