Marta K. was employed at the Bolesławiec branch of the Zachodniopomorska Kasa Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowa in 2002. She accepted and paid out money to clients and concluded agreements. She had full access to their data. In 2004, she began committing fraud—she took out loans in her clients’ names and opened term deposits for them. Over three and a half years, she misappropriated more than PLN 320,000.
At the end of August last year, just before an audit of the branch’s documentation, Marta K. notified the police of the crime she had committed. The woman admitted guilt.
The prosecutor supported Marta K.’s request to issue a judgment without conducting a trial. The proposed sentence was as follows: four years’ imprisonment suspended for seven years, a PLN 4,000 fine, and a five-year ban on holding positions involving either the preparation of or access to accounting documentation, as well as cash-desk documentation. The woman will also have to repay the money to SKOK and the other victims within five years of the judgment becoming final.
Marta K. had no prior convictions.
