Prosecutors announced Monday that they recently filed charges against a bank worker on suspicion that she pilfered NIS 114,000 ($32,000) in cash from clients.
Sarit Hori, 47, a resident of the central city of Rishon Lezion, was charged with theft for crimes she allegedly committed while working for Bank Hapoalim.
Hori worked in the bank’s cash hub for its Tel Aviv branches and is suspected of stealing the money over a period of three years.
The indictment was filed at Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court
According to the court paper, Hori dealt with cash in envelopes deposited by customers. During the period 2018-2020 she “took advantage of her job role and the trust given her by the bank administration.”
