Spanish supermarket wants 10 years in prison for cashier accused of €333,800 theft
A supermarket till is probably the last place most people would expect to find a €333,800 hole in the accounts. […]
A Spanish supermarket is seeking a 10-year prison sentence for a cashier accused of stealing €333,800 through a series of small transactions over two years. Prosecutors claim the cashier took advantage of the supermarket's separate systems for purchasing and payments to cover up the theft. The cashier allegedly disconnected the payment terminal after each transaction, preventing the payment from being recorded.
The supermarket became suspicious after noticing open tickets, and the cashier was dismissed and arrested the following day. The supermarket is seeking a 10-year sentence, along with a €288,000 fine and compensation of €331,750. The Public Prosecutor's Office, on the other hand, is seeking a three-year prison sentence, a €4,500 fine, and the return of €333,800 in alleged losses. The case will be heard in the Provincial Court of Cantabria.
