Online gambling fraudster faces more jail time

Convicted fraudster Tracey Stevenson (54) who is already serving a four-year prison sentence, faces the prospect of an additional 6 years in jail if she fails to obey a court order issued this week that she repay the GBP 786,766.38 she stole from former employer Ecsec Limited to fuel her excessive lifestyle and online gambling habit.

Our readers may recall that Stevenson, who was keeping the books at Ecsec when the offences took place between 2011-2016, was convicted in a Cambridge UK court last July of fraudulently diverting company funds to the value of GBP 1.7 million to her own accounts. She used the money to buy properties in England and Spain and to gamble online.

This week the court made a Proceeds of Crime Act Confiscation Order directing Stevenson to repay GBP 786,766.38 to Ecsec or face an additional six years in prison.
