Investigation into internal fraud and misappropriation of funds. Our Wthite Collar Crime department advised Diospi Suyana, a non-profit religious association operating a charitable hospital in Curahuasi, Abancay, which provides discounted medical services to patients in need. Through a cash discrepancy and security footage, it was discovered that a staff member, Ana Tipiciano Olivera, had withdrawn cash from the till fraudulently. She had charged patients the full amount without applying authorised discounts, then retrospectively entered unauthorised discounts into the system, pocketing the difference.
Legal actions for fraud, theft, and forgery. ESOLA role involved case analysis, identifying applicable offences, drafting and submitting criminal complaints, and participating in investigative actions. Initial evidence indicated potential collusion involving two staff members, prompting a complaint against them for computer fraud, theft, and forgery. The subsequent investigation by the prosecution identified seven hospital employees implicated in these offences, with an estimated financial impact of S/231,744.26.
Strategic impact and preventive measures. The case has uncovered a structured internal fraud network, prompting Diospi Suyana to implement preventive measures to mitigate future risks of similar conduct.
Latest development: The case is currently in the preparatory investigation stage, with further investigative actions pending.
