A former teller of the ANZ Bank has been sentenced to six years imprisonment on three counts of money laundering by the Suva High Court this afternoon.
Doreen Singh,34, fraudulently cashed Fiji Electricity Authority cheques amounting to $157,423.94 in 2008.
The court heard Singh duped the bank to assist her de-facto husband, obtain the money which she knew were the proceeds of crime.
While sentencing Singh, Judge Justice Salesi Temo said there were strong circumstantial evidence and direct evidence to show she knew she was dealing with proceeds of crime.
Justice Temo said Singh breached her former employers’ trust and as a teller she was expected to be upright, honest and hardworking.
