Hof: gokverslaving en hoofdpijn geen excuus voor diefstal

A financial manager at Hydromaster was convicted of embezzling approximately €800,000 from company accounts between 2019-2022. He transferred funds in small increments to his personal business accounts, evading detection until a bank tip exposed the theft. The court rejected his defense citing gambling addiction and migraines, ruling these insufficient excuses for the crime.
