London:An Indian origin employee of the Barclays bank in Leicester has been given a 1-year jail sentence for dishonestly fleecing two customer accounts of over 68,000 pounds. Sunny Sodha, 27, a personal banker at Barclays, carried out a sophisticated scam by moving the cash to a number of bogus accounts, the Leicester Crown Court was told. Victoria Rose, prosecuting lawyer, said, "He transferred money from two customers' savings accounts into their personal current account and opened a new account in a false name and transferred the money into that account". On both occasions the cash was then filtered into eight other accounts. He then wiped out various transaction details as the money quickly disappeared, according to reports from Leicester. Rose said that it could only be proved that he received 7,000 pounds, which Judge Mark Rogers ordered it be confiscaed to compensate the bank.
