[Three and a half years in prison equals 30,660 hours.
$4.3 million dollars divided by 30,660 is over $142

of the world.]

UNMIK official in jail after $4.3 million theft




BOCHUM -- Monday ? An official of the UN mission in
Kosovo was sentenced in Germany today to three and a
half years in prison for stealing $4.3 million while
serving in Kosovo.

A court in Bochum sentenced 37-year-old Joe Trutschler
after an investigation established that he had
embezzled funds intended for the Kosovo Electricity
Company and transferred it to his account in
Gibraltar.

A further attempt to forward the funds from Gibraltar
to Belize was thwarted by investigating bodies.

Only $3.2 million of the funds has been recovered.
