A 42-year-old man stole money from someone else’s envelopes for a long time at the Zurich airport. The employee of a third company who was supposed to check mail at the airport on behalf of the Swiss Post was caught and charged with theft and violation of postal and telecommunications secrecy, writes the “NZZ”.
The father’s job was actually to X-ray the mail bags of letters and packages and open them if there was any suspicion of substances that could pose a fire hazard.
Beware of cash
The man, who had been an employee of the Post Office for twenty years prior to his work at the third-party company, used his authorization to open the letters. Not only did he pocket accidental finds, but he also kept an eye out for the banknote letters, according to the prosecution.
In front of the court in Bülach ZH, the confessor said he started doing it after accidentally stumbling on cash in a program that was regularly opened. In total, the 42-year-old managed to steal more than 100,000 francs. He is said to have committed up to 225 individual acts.
Bills kept in a folder at home
Two years ago he was given his trade after video surveillance. The cash (98,700 francs and 12,000 euros) was found in a black wallet at her home. According to your information, 5,000 to 10,000 francs and 800 euros should not come from someone else’s envelopes, but should be the result of honest part-time jobs.
According to NZZ, he said in court that he had not spent any of the money and did not want to harm anyone. He kept it for no specific purpose. He no longer knew how often and how many cards he opened. After his machinations were exposed, he was detained for 19 days. It was only there that he realized what he had done. Then he lost his job. Now he is temporarily working in another area.
The victims are unknown
The judge sentenced him to a suspended sentence of eleven months and a fine of 2,000 francs for both theft and violation of postal and telecommunications secrecy.
Who the victims are is largely unknown. To date, only two private plaintiffs have filed claims for damages. All other injured parties have five years to report before the state loses the balance. (man)
