Three former employees of ANZ Amerika Samoa Bank have been sentenced to 28 months in jail for stealing close to $100,000 in bank funds.
The three, Tofa Toeaina, Jessie Maiava and Caroline Ulberg were sentenced to seven years in jail, which was suspended and they were placed on probation for seven years, after they serve 28 months in jail.
Passing sentence, Chief Justice Michael Kruse, said the three had helped themselves to a total of 99 thousand dollars in bank loans which they did not pay back.
Toeaina was ordered to pay restitution of $90,179, Maiava has to pay $7,255 and Ulberg will have to pay back $1,683.
Once they have paid the full restitution, the balance of their jail terms will be stayed.
