An employee of the Pôle emploi de Plaisir (Yvelines) set up a particularly lucrative scam between May 2016 and December 2018. Over this period, he embezzled no less than 294,000 euros from the organization's coffers, enriching himself. even more than 102,000 euros.
Because this 61-year-old man, domiciled in Plaisir, was not acting for free.
In exchange for his services, the beneficiaries of his embezzlement had to pay him sums of money, or conceive of granting him a romantic relationship when it was a woman.
The employee used his professional duties to set up false aid application files.
He stole employer certificates from other files, falsified them and added them to his dummy documents.
He took advantage of his function as “fraud referent” to validate these procedures himself.
It is a random internal control of the Pôle emploi which highlighted the inconsistencies in certain files.
Contacted, the public establishment, which filed a complaint in early 2019, did not wish to speak.
