A bank worker jailed for stealing £120,000 from a wealthy customer she falsely accused of sexual assault has been made to pay back just £1 of the stolen money.
Satnam Kaur was jailed for a year in July after she failed to convince a sheriff she had been given the cash as “hush money”.
Sheriff Christopher Shead ruled she had swindled Robert Brown into signing a blank banker’s draft before plundering his account over the course of of a month.
The Indian national paid the money into the account of another customer, Robert Mann, before forging his signature on a blank cheque which was deposited in her own Lloyds TSB account.
The theft happened at the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in Albyn Place, Aberdeen, and more than half the money was sent to an account in India.
None of the cash has been recovered and the bank had to compensate her victims.
This morning during a proceeds of crime hearing Sheriff Graham Buchanan allowed a joint minute to be passed agreeing that, as Kaur has no asserts, £1 will be confiscated.
Further proceedings will only be brought against her in future if she comes into money.
She is currently waiting to be deported back to India.
