Giselle McAuliffe, a 50 year old local woman, has been charged with 1x count of Fraud by Abuse of Position and 2x counts of money Laundering.

McAuliffe who at the time was an employee of the Royal Gibraltar Post Office (RGPO) was arrested by officers of the Economic Crime unit on the 8th May 2017. The arrest followed a complaint to police by RGPO senior management regarding irregularities which had been detected on various dormant deposit accounts during the transfer of the deposit accounts from the RGPO to the Gibraltar Savings Bank.

The fraud allegedly amounts to in excess of £30,000. In respect of the money laundering charges McAuliffe is alleged to have converted over £57,000, believed to be the proceeds of crime, into a Chose in Action.

McAuliffe was granted police bail and appears before the Magistrates’ court today (14 Feb 2018)
