Fraud -A cleaner in a local bank colluded with afew other persons to remove a whopping sh 30 million. Evidence was provided in court on Thursday July 8.
In the CCTV footage presented in court, the cleaner, a cashier and a former bank operations manager colluded with 3 fake auditors to carry out the early morning heist which they conducted on October 2, 2015.
It was revealed that three persons posing as auditors arrived at the bank and flashed faked Identification Cards IDs to the security guards at the gate and who allowed them to enter the premises. They took a record three minutes to make away with the cash through the back door.
The said men arrived at the bank very early finding their accomplices – the cleaner, operations manager and a cashier – ready for the mission.
Upon reviewing the evidence provided by the prosecution, Principal Magistrate Mark Ekhubi found the six men guilty of the offense and sentenced them for two years each without an option of fine.
“I am of the view the prosecution presented a strong case. I do not doubt the culpability of the three fake auditors,” he declared.
He added that the heist seemed to have been well-planned and executed with the knowledge of some staff members who facilitated the entry of the ‘auditors’ by flouting the policy procedure of the bank.
