The Department of State (MP) charged two employees and a former employee of the Chamber of Pedrogan Grande with embezzlement, forgery and money laundering offenses for allegedly embezzling money from the municipality, according to a submission consulted by Lusa.
In the indictment, the deputy referred to the fact that “in 2013 by mutual agreement” the then head of the Administration and Finance Department, the former treasurer and the head of the accounting department (who had left the Chamber in the meantime) decided to take over the municipality’s money and use it for “their own benefit”.
The head of the division was responsible for controlling the working capital of this municipality in the district of Leiria, “the value of which could not exceed” 500 euros, so he was obliged to deposit money in banks in excess of this amount.
