Feb 14 - Former Post Office Employee Charged With Fraud And Money Laundering
A 50-year-old local woman has been charged with one count of fraud by abuse of position and two counts of money laundering.
Giselle McAuliffe, who at the time was an employee of the Royal Gibraltar Post Office (RGPO), was arrested by officers of the Economic Crime unit on the 8th May last year.
The arrest followed a complaint to police by RGPO senior management regarding irregularities which had been detected on various dormant deposit accounts during the transfer of the deposit accounts from the RGPO to the Gibraltar Savings Bank.
The fraud allegedly amounts to in excess of £30,000. In respect of the money laundering charges McAuliffe is alleged to have converted over £57,000, believed to be the proceeds of crime, into a ‘Chose in Action’.
McAuliffe was granted police bail and appears before the Magistrates’ court today.
