An employee at Gushungo Holdings was slapped with a four year sentence for siphoning more than $50 000 from his employer on the pretext that he was paying suppliers.
Stephen Fino (36), who was employed as a personal assistant to the general manager, swindled the company of $52 327 and nothing was recovered.
Fino pleaded for the court’s leniency saying that he was willing to meet his employer and make a payment plan.
From the stolen money, the magistrate subtracted $5 000 for the vehicle he gave away.
This means Fino will re-institute $47 327 to Gushungo Holdings.
