A former female employee of a subsidiary of Toshiba Corp. is suspected to have embezzled about 700 million yen by making fake orders worth more than 1 billion yen over more than 10 years, it was learned Thursday.
The former female employee, 57, of Toshiba Lighting & Technology Corp., a Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture-based subsidiary of Toshiba Corp., was fired in June last year as punishment.
The subsidiary, fully owned by Toshiba, has already filed a criminal complaint against the former employee with the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, as it believes her actions constituted a breach of trust, according to informed sources. (Yomiuri)
