Apple sued an employee who has been working for 10 years on the grounds that he defrauded the company for more than 10 million dollars. The employee allegedly received support from another company while committing these crimes.
In the past days, the envelope with a white powder inside the Apple headquarters has managed to give employees moments of fear. It was thought that the envelope, which was arranged for Apple and caused great chaos, was sent by someone or someone who wanted to harm the company. However, the damage done or intended to be done to the company may not always be as innocent as an envelope. This time, it was said that an Apple employee caused a great financial loss to the company.
Apple claimed that its employee, whom it accused of committing a large amount of fraud, was also partnered with other companies in these crimes. It is said that the employee in question has been working for Apple for years and the amount he defrauded from the company is about 10 million dollars.
Apple sues employee it accused of fraud
Dhiendra Prasad, 52 , who has been working at Apple for 10 years, has been accused by the company of fraud, money laundering, theft of equipment and tax evasion. Prassad, who is said to have caused more than 10 million dollars in total damage to the company, continued his silence on the subject, and the allegations did not stop. According to the AP News report, it is thought that Prassad was not alone in committing these scams. It is also claimed that two owners of another company were partners in these crimes by admitting that they were working with Prassad in these frauds.
The complaint, filed with the prosecutor's office, states that Prassad "consciously conspired to devise and devise a scheme and fraud to defraud in a material matter and to obtain money and property through materially false and fraudulent claims, representations and promises and omissions" . This means that for each crime, Prassad will be asked for a prison sentence of between 5 and 20 years . Apple will face its employee, which it claims has caused a substantial amount of damage to the company, in the US District Court in San Jose in the coming days. The US Attorney General authorized the confiscation of Prassad's property and financial accounts worth a total of $5 million .
