Bookkeeper Suspected In $400K Fraud

A former bookkeeper, already facing fraud-related charges in an Ontario Provincial Police investigation, now faces charges laid by police in Windsor.

A complainant at a Windsor manufacturing company went to the police in Windsor after learning his former bookkeeper faced charges in a fraud at a Leamington company.

After reviewing financial documents between 2008 and 2012, he concluded more than $400,000 was missing through fraudulent payroll deposits, petty cash expenditures and forged cheques.

The Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit arrested 56-year-old Nada Khalaf, who now faces two charges: fraud over $5,000 and uttering forged documents. Police believe the financial losses will increase.

Police ask anyone with information about the investigation to call the Windsor Police Service Financial Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700 ext. 4330 or Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477 (TIPS), submit the information on Facebook or go to www.catchcrooks.com.
