“She did what she did. She recognizes him. But she is a little lost. A lot even. She finds herself with four children to support. Her husband died last month. She does everything she can to get by (…) She is a woman at the end of her rope“, explained his lawyer, asking the”the mercy of the court“. “She needs to be punished, but she needs help,” he said.
“She has had three convictions for acts of the same nature. And she finds herself in the same situation despite a sentence that prevented her from practicing the profession of accountant (…) She has not learned the lessons of the past. She is a habitual criminal”, for her part the prosecutor said.
The mother ended up getting a year in prison. And she must pay back the embezzled 1.7 million francs.
