Four years in prison for tax official who embezzled 19.5 million

A former employee (61) of the Tax and Customs Administration in Arnhem has been sentenced to four years in prison for stealing 19.5 million euros from his employer. He cheated the system, resulting in a large negative assessment being sent to an acquaintance of his. The tax authorities then automatically transferred the millions. The Tax and Customs Administration may never get the money back, which has been in a Turkish account for ten years.
