London: An Indian-origin web manager charged with siphoning off over 100,000 pounds from his boss' UK-based firm was today jailed for 39 months by a court.
Gaurav Sachan, who worked as digital head for home improvement firm Alison At Home, had pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London.
"You have let down everyone around you. You committed that offence through the most flagrant abuse of your position," the judge told Sachan.
According to 'Evening Standard', the fraud occurred between March and December 2014 by moving cash via PayPal accounts.
He allegedly bought Tommy Hilfiger clothes, a ring for his wife and stayed at luxury hotels with the funds.
"The defendant used the monies to fund a lavish lifestyle- his bank accounts show him shopping at expensive designer outlets such as Tommy Hilfiger and Russell and Bromley," he added.
Another accounts manager at the business was jailed in February last year for stealing 23,000 pounds from the company.
Ogunagbadaro had been sacked after only two months back in 2014 for poor performance but his fraud only came to light once he had left the firm.
