In Lviv, a financier who previously managed a bank branch was found guilty of fraudulent appropriation of clients’ funds. She received a sentence of five years in prison. Additionally, the court barred her from holding managerial positions for a period of two years.
It was established that in 2017 the woman defrauded 9 clients by devising a scheme involving ‘duplicate’ accounts. She created fake profiles in the bank’s system, linked them with the identification numbers of existing clients, which allowed her to access their funds. Subsequently, the convict registered bank cards under fictitious names, withdrew cash, and spent it on personal needs.
The total damage amounted to over UAH 330,000. The indictment was sent to court in 2018, but the trial continued due to delays from the defence. The court’s verdict will become final after the appeal period expires.
