The representative of the public prosecutor's office demanded a custodial prison sentence for two co-defendants and a suspended prison sentence for the main defendant.
In April 2019, ADEM had filed a report against an employee who had been tasked with handling unemployment files. As he was paying out unemployment benefit, the man managed to manipulate the IT system to send the benefits to his own account, rather than those of 50 job seekers.
This main defendant is facing a fine and a 18-month suspended prison sentence. The sentence is suspended on condition that he pay back the embezzled money. The public prosecutor's office demanded a fine and a custodial prison sentence of 10 and 9 months respectively for the two-co defendants.
The verdict will be rendered on 19 March.
Trial against man who embezzled €95,000 begins
Culprit purported to have transferred himself €90,000 over two months
