Zheng Weitao called the police more than ten years later.
The defendant pleaded guilty
During his tenure from 2004 to 2006, the former manager of the accounting department of Itamae Sushi forged bank deposit slips and stole more than 24 million yuan from the company. However, when the company's auditors handled the company's accounts, the manager failed to provide accounting documents, and later fled Hong Kong to the Mainland. When the manager returned to Hong Kong in 2016, he thought he would be arrested, but because the company's boss Zheng Weitao had not reported the case at that time, the manager continued to live in Hong Kong. It was not until Zheng Yu called the police two years later that the manager was arrested. He pleaded guilty to six counts of theft. After hearing the plea, the judge adjourned his sentence until next Tuesday (29th).
Addicted to gambling under financial pressure
The defendant Tang Zhiling, 50 years old. The defense today pleaded that the defendant married his wife in the Mainland in 2002, and his son was born the following year. He was under financial pressure and was addicted to gambling. He often went to Macau casinos to gamble. When the incident came to light in 2007, he went to Shenyang to live with his wife, while his son was a cross-border student who needed to go to school in Hong Kong.
The defendant returned to Hong Kong as a bus driver
The defendant returned to Hong Kong in 2016, but it turned out that Zheng Weitao only reported the case in 2019, and the defendant was not arrested when he returned to Hong Kong. He later served as a bus driver and was arrested after Zheng reported the case.
According to the case, Zheng Weitao was the director of Itamae Sushi and established Juntao and other companies from 2004 to 2006 to operate branches. The defendant was hired as the manager of the accounting department in front of the board in 2004, and the general manager would report the same-day cash collected from each branch to the defendant and hand it over to him. The cash must be deposited into the account of each branch.
Zheng discovered that the defendant had stolen money in 2007
However, the auditor before the board audited the company in early 2007, but the defendant failed to provide accounting documents, so the auditor notified Zheng. The defendant lost contact after lunch on October 2 of the same year and left Hong Kong. At the same time, Zheng He's auditor discovered that the defendant had forged bank deposit slips, showing that the same-day cash collected from each branch had been deposited into the relevant account. They also discovered that the defendant had stolen more than 24.19 million yuan from the company between 2004 and 2006.
The defendant admitted to forging bank deposit slips with a typewriter
Zheng reported the case in March 2019, and the police arrested the defendant in July of the same year. He admitted to embezzling the company's money in the video interview. He also used the office typewriter to forge bank deposit slips and tried to record the stolen money into the "expenses" item of the balance sheet before the board, in an attempt to write off the lost money.
