A cashier at Nova Poshta, a prominent Ukrainian postal service, has been found guilty of embezzling approximately UAH 190,000 ($5,000) from a branch located in Kyiv Oblast, with the intention of using the stolen money for gambling, the Makariv District Court of Kyiv Oblast announced on June 20.
The deceitful cashier created fictitious electronic requests from clients to obtain cash, all while unbeknownst to her own mother, to whom she redirected the stolen funds.
In an attempt to conceal her crime, she printed and personally signed documents attesting to cash transfers, by assuming the roles of both the cashier and clients.
She is required by the court to return the misappropriated funds to Nova Poshta.
