A FORMER Silversea Cruises employee has been charged with stealing more than $3.5m from the luxury cruise line, according to an SMH report.
Bookkeeper Mary Ann Abellanoza has appeared in Downing Centre Local Court accused of “deliberate and calculated fraud”, allegedly transferring $3.56 million into seven bank accounts under her control.
The court also heard the actions allegedly took place over a four-year period starting in 2014, with Abellanoza using a downloadable generator to create fake invoices to aid in carrying out the theft.
