A former Ministry of Transport senior manager jailed for stealing $726,000 from the organisation has been granted parole and will be deported from New Zealand.
Joanne Harrison was jailed for three years and seven months last February but was granted parole at a December 6 hearing, NZ Herald reports.
Harrison has not appealed the deportation notice and will be sent back to the United Kingdom in January. She will be subject to special conditions until her statutory release date of March 4, 2020.
She is banned from returning to New Zealand.
