A former employee of the NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars is accused of stealing more than $22 million over a four-year period by manipulating the company’s internal credit card program. This emerges from documents available to a court in Florida.
Although the Jaguars were not named there, the football team confirmed in a statement that it was the company affected. In addition, Jacksonville stated that it had already terminated the contract with the employee last February.
Former manager in sight
“As the indictment indicates, this individual was a former financial planning and analysis manager who exploited his position of trust to secretly and intentionally commit significant fraudulent financial activity at the expense of the team and to derive personal benefit from it.” , the Jaguars announced.
The accused is said to have used part of the stolen sum for expensive purchases. These reportedly included a condominium, a car, cryptocurrency, private jet charters, luxury hotel stays, a country club membership and luxury watches.
