A former Apple employee is accused of fraud in the US. The 52-year-old actor is said to have raised more than 10 million dollars (converted to 9 million euros).
According to the indictment, Dhirendra Prasad defrauded the company by abusing his “position of trust” as a buyer in Apple’s global supply chain.
Prasad negotiated with suppliers of Apple products as a buyer for the US technology manufacturer. He placed orders for these suppliers and then paid Apple through invoices Prasad entered into his purchasing system. The man was fired in December 2018. The exact reason for this is unknown.
The former employee allegedly defrauded Apple by taking bribes, stealing parts with false repair orders and charging Apple for products and services that the company never received. Prasad is also accused of tax evasion and money laundering.
Prasad will be arrested on Thursday. Prosecutors hope the former employee will be forced by the judge to give up his property worth millions of dollars. Two salesmen who did business with Prasad were convicted in December of money laundering and fraud.
