[UK] OAP admits stealing £600,000 from pension firm

[dunkace]

[QUOTE]A West Lothian pensioner boosted his retirement income by stealing £600,000 from pensions firm Scottish Widows.

Robert Crawford, 71, from Broxburn, pleaded guilty to embezzling the money between 1 May 2001 and 31 December 2014 at Livingston Sheriff Court.

The administrator worked in the annuities department when he siphoned off the funds, the court heard.

A police officer also served him with a confiscation order for almost £1m under proceeds of crime laws.

The order states although he made £600,000 from his crime, the Crown estimates his "recoverable assets" total £972,190.[/QUOTE]

So, averaging 3,680 pounds a month for over thirteen years, or almost $5,000 USD at current exchange rates. On top of his actual pay.

Yeah, fuck off, greedy.

Man you gotta love European countries

They don't fuck around with money when it comes to justice.

here in Argentina, not only those 600k would have been lost, but the state would have to pay more in paper work for the trial, so it would be a net loss.

Ffs.
