Two employees have been sentenced to three years in prison for their involvement in the theft of GH₵55,000 from their employer. The court heard that the duo, who worked at a financial institution, devised a scheme to siphon funds by manipulating accounting records. Their fraudulent activities came to light during an internal audit, prompting the company to report the incident to law enforcement.

During the proceedings, evidence presented revealed how the pair exploited their positions of trust to carry out the theft over several months. The judge emphasized that such breaches of trust not only harm businesses but also undermine public confidence in institutions. In addition to serving time behind bars, both individuals were ordered to repay the stolen amount as part of their sentencing.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and accountability within organizations and highlights the legal repercussions that await those who engage in dishonest practices. Authorities continue to encourage companies to implement robust measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
