A worker, previously employed by trucking firm Toll Holdings, was sentenced to five-and-a-half years behind bars at the Brisbane District Court this week for major fraud.
Christina Tupu, 26, stole more than A$340,000 from companies Electrolux and Toll Holdings between December 2015 and April 2017. Around A$200,000 was stolen from Toll.
More than A$22,000 was paid back but the rest was used to fund international flights, hotels, cruises and gambling.
Judge Gregory Koppenol described Tupu’s “breach of trust” as “breathtaking”, the New Zealand Herald reports.
