Spread the love
A Belgian woman has been sentenced to 12 months’ probation for misappropriating almost EC$10,000 from local animal charity Paaws Antigua where she worked.
Louisa Woollard forged five cheques and made personal payments amounting to $9,635.65 when she was employed as a bookkeeper at the charity between January and December of 2017.
Woollard used that money to buy a TV worth $600, more than $1,200 worth of groceries at a supermarket, as well as to pay rent and utility bills amounting to more than $7,000.
In one instance she used a Paaws cheque to pay utility bills for a friend, amounting to $1,248.78, with the understanding, she said, that the friend would pay her back the money, which she would then return to the charity.
