Danish woman charged with $25 million embezzlement
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A former airport catering company manager has been charged with embezzlement and forgery worth 138 million kroner ($24.5 million).
Prosecutor for economic crimes Jens Madsen says Amanda Nyholm Jacobsen spent the money on an expensive house in Denmark, cars, watches, jewelry, art and private trips during 2008-2011.
Madsen on Tuesday called it "an unusual case because of the large sum of money."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Nyholm Jacobsen, former head of Gate Gourmet in Copenhagen, earlier confessed fraud worth 120 million kroner ($21.3 million).
The case is also being investigated in Switzerland because Nyholm Jacobsen has claimed another senior Gate Gourmet manager profited from the embezzlement, Madsen said.
No trial date has been set.
