Hi
I use to work for a firm and left 12 months ago due to my husbands illness as I am now his carer
About 7 months ago I had a visit from the visit and I have been accused and now charged with fraud of 26k
I am completely innocent of this and really upset as people who I thought were friends have made statements that are just not true
I worked in the credit control office and throughout the week we had cash come into the office ftrom one of our companies which I signed for but never counted I handed it to a colleague in a more senior position than me who counted it and put the security marker through it sher then handed it back to me and I placedf it in the safe until we banked the following day
I was the one who put it onto the system along with any cheques we had but now I find 26k is missing and \i don't know how I am ever going to provre it
I really need some advice I have a solicitor but donty know if he believes me and I can't stand the fact that anyone thinks Im a thief as I am 56 yrs old and have never been in trouble before

They will really need to prove you took the money, a paper trail showing you deposited money or had money for the last year you could not account for. So just be ready to explain how all the bills have been getting paid and any money in the bank

I have provided bank statements etc but the police didn't want to know my Solicitor has said the interview was all one sided and I wasn't given a fair hearing
My faith in human nature as goe out the window after this
They are trying to convict me on my signature and the allocations I have done nut I banked what I was given
Another problem I have is I covered for a work colleague when she did the banking wrong she sometimes put wrong cheques in wrong banking books and I had to transfer funds over so they are trying to say this was a deliberate action to cover my tracks
I really don't know why I was so stupid but the colleague was a friend so I never expected anything like this
