Thieving Burberry Accountant Faces Penalty
- 03 September 2013
A FORMER Burberry
and Hackett
accountant has been ordered to repay £113,658.17 that he stole from
the brands while still working for both companies. In February
2012, the employee, Victor Navarro, was found guilty of fraud and
imprisoned for 21 months.Navarro used the money he embezzled from both brands to buy sports cars. He stole £82,200 from Burberry between 2007 and 2010, when he worked for the label as an accounts clerk. He also used cash that the fashion house owed to a supplier to buy a BMW X5, maintaining that the brand was "funding a company car for him", reports The Telegraph.
He resigned from Burberry, before moving to Hackett where he stole more money. The repayments must be paid within six months or else he will face a two-year jail sentence. Compensation will be given to both Burberry and Hackett.
