Half and half: Service manager and head of accounting of a company have defrauded 169,865.75 euros through fake invoices. Until they got caught. Now they have to pay themselves.
To show his goodwill, the service manager responsible for checking the invoices handed over 2,000 euros to the representative of the private parties at the beginning of the trial at the Eisenstadt court. His mother gave it to him.
Large payback periods
“That’s all I have,” said the 51-year-old, who now only has to pay back 82,933 euros. His partner (40), who made the sham invoices, has already moved on – he is still missing about 50,000 euros. The pattern: A Slovak company sent invoices for “provided” services to the company’s headquarters in southern Burgenland, where the suspects worked.
There they were signed, the amount went to an account of the two. From April 2021 to March 2022, this game was played 28 times, generating approximately 7,000 euros in additional monthly income. For each.
“Never verified”
The service manager came up with the idea. “I wanted to highlight errors and pointed out to the manager several times that there was something wrong with the invoices. Nevertheless, it was never verified! There was only the transfer. And once the honey pot is open and you are very hungry. ..”
“Save Yourself When Life Decays”
Both brought them into financial crises, both are dependent. “When life falls apart, you have to try to save yourself,” said the service manager, who was sentenced to 18 months on the basis of two previous convictions, six of which were unconditional. The head of accounting got off with nine months and a fine of 1440 euros. last.
