More than 100,000 euros in losses
Despite earning a respectable salary, the manager of a restaurant embezzled caviar, among other things, and sold it on. Advance payments from customers also ended up in his private account. At more than 100,000 euros, the damage was so massive that the restaurant had to close.
"My client was extremely addicted to gambling and gambled away up to 30,000 euros a month on sports betting," explained the defense lawyer for the accused, who tried to flee when he was arrested, jumped out of the window and ended up in intensive care.
Just short of unconditional imprisonment
In the end, the senate of lay assessors granted the man from Kitzbühel, who had been elected, a last chance at freedom. The 55-year-old immediately accepted the sentence of 18 months' conditional imprisonment and a fine of 1,440 euros. To his delight, seven and a half months from a previous conviction were also not revoked.
