Man charged with criminal breach of trust involving nearly S$600,000
SINGAPORE: An ex-accounts manager of an airfreight company has been charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust involving nearly S$600,000.
Thirty-six-year-old Mohd Azmi Ishak, formerly from Itochu Logistics, allegedly converted the money for his own use from November 2008 until April this year.
The court heard that the firm used to entrust him with pre-signed cheques for company expenses.
The stocky man who sports a crew-cut is represented by lawyers, Mr Alfred Lim and Mr Josephus Tan.
Prosecution said that the amount he had allegedly taken has not been recovered.
However, Mr Lim told District Judge Lim Tse Hwa that "restitution is in the process of being made".
Mohd Azmi was offered a bail of S$50,000 and his pre-trial conference will be held on November 24.
If found guilty, he can be jailed up to 15 years and fined for each charge.
