据《每日邮报》网站4月2日报道，英国某地议会误将5.2万英镑汇入了一名年轻女子的银行账户里，之后该女子便进行了马拉松式的疯狂消费。 23岁的米凯拉·哈金斯在自己账户里发现了这笔钱后，不但没有向银行上报错误，反而豪掷9千英镑购买了名牌服装、墨镜和其他东西，还给了她母亲1000英镑现金。警察随后将她逮捕。 作为一名单亲全职妈妈，哈金斯被判执行为期一年的社区服务令，进行150个小时的无偿工作。 A young woman went on a marathon shopping spree hours after a bungling council accidentally credited her bank account with £52,000, a court heard yesterday. Michaela Hutchings, 23, spent £9,000 on expensive designer clothes, sunglasses and other items after finding the money in her account. Instead of reporting the error, she also gave her mother Elaine £1,000 in cash, before she was caught by police on April 24 last year. After she was caught, officers discovered she had transferred £40,000 into an investment account after taking advice from her bank, which was unaware of the mistake. The mother of one was found guilty of dishonesty and retaining a wrongly credited bank transfer when she appeared at Stafford Crown Court on Monday. Recorder Derek Desmond told her: ‘A little over £52,000 was put into your account in error. That had nothing to do with you. You didn’t cause that error, but you decided to keep it.’ |
