They condemn the bank employee from Mallorca for stealing more than 300,000 euros from clients

PalmaA bank employee in Mallorca has accepted a sentence of one year and three months in prison this Tuesday for fraudulently misappropriating over 300,000 euros, which she has returned to clients.

The Provincial Court issued a consent judgment this Tuesday in a preliminary hearing after the parties reached an agreement, which takes into account the mitigating factor for undue delay due to the time the case was stalled and for reparation of damages, after the convicted woman returned the misappropriated amounts to the victims.

In this context, the woman will not go to prison on the condition that she does not re-offend in the next two years. The events took place between January 2010 and April 2014, when she worked at a bank in a town in Mallorca. The woman admitted that she took advantage of her position at the institution and that she was responsible for the custody and administration of client funds.

To keep the money, she made cash withdrawals from accounts without the clients' knowledge or consent, or transferred amounts from clients' accounts to her own. These actions were sometimes carried out from her workstation terminal or from the workstation terminal of other employees who were not present.
