According to the indictment, the saleswoman reached into the cash register of a butcher's shop 117 times.

Now the 35-year-old had to answer to the district court.

Wolfratshausen – Exactly 59,328.83 euros – that is the amount by which a 35-year-old saleswoman is said to have relieved her employer within 14 months. In the period between May 11, 2019 and July 1, 2020, the part-time employee of a butcher's shop in the northern district regularly reached into the till. The indictment lists a total of 117 cases. The woman has now been sentenced to one year and four months in prison by the lay judges at the Wolfratshausen district court for theft in a particularly serious case. The sentence was suspended on probation.

It was a short process.

This was due to the fact that the public prosecutor, with the consent of the court and the defense, was able to limit himself to the key data when reading out the indictment and did not have to read out all 117 acts individually.

And: The previously blameless accused, who had done her job in the butcher's shop for six years to the satisfaction of her boss ("Everything always worked out"), had already fully confessed to the police interrogation.

Defense attorney admits: "It's a strong piece"

"That's a strong piece," admitted defense attorney Christina Keil, who had identified a "family tragedy" as the cause of her client's actions. One of her children was seriously ill, the operation was expensive, and her husband lost his job. "Then the opportunity arose to reach into the cash register," the lawyer explained. “When she realized that it worked, she continued.” She knew that the matter would eventually be exposed. However, the fact that it had taken so long until she was finally found out caused general astonishment. Especially since the amounts that she had stolen were not small change: the lowest amount was 150 euros, the highest amount that she carried out of the store hidden in her bra in one day was almost 800 euros.

Saleswoman was caught in the act

It is possible that the fraud would not have been noticed for a long time if the business had not grown so much that the master butcher had had to carry out a production survey that had not been necessary up to that point.

They wanted to make this recording via the cash register system, in which all products in the range are recorded.

He himself was overwhelmed with it ("I'm a craftsman"), which is why he consulted an external system administrator, the injured party reported.

"The huge shortfalls were noticed."

When making bookings, the accused never entered her own identification number in the cash register, but always those of colleagues or even her boss.

This was ultimately her undoing.

On July 1 last year, the woman was caught red-handed.

"I immediately threw the results of my investigation at her," said the master butcher.

His employee then admitted everything and immediately signed a termination agreement.

District court orders so-called value replacement

"I'm sorry," said the woman, whose voice broke for a moment as she apologized to her ex-boss in the courtroom. She had no explanation for her behavior. The jury sentenced the saleswoman to one year and four months. The representative of the public prosecutor's office had requested four months more, the defense four months less. Due to the lack of control in the company, it was "made very easy" for her, judge Helmut Berger justified the lenient verdict. In addition, it is in their favor that the judiciary was "spared a lot of fiddling work" in their investigations due to the excessive confession. The court ordered the confiscation of value compensation in the amount of 59,328.83 euros. (first)
