How this seemingly timid accountant STOLE $45 Million and almost got away with it

A Sydney accountant who stole $45 million to spend on items including jewellery and Michael Jackson memorabilia has been jailed for up to 15 years Rajina Subramaniam was arrested by Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport in 2009 as she boarded a flight to Sri Lanka to attend a wedding. The 42-year-old was then charged with defrauding the multinational financial group ING, where she worked as a senior account manager. She siphoned the money from her employer into her own personal accounts. The Castle Hill woman faced sentencing this morning in the New South Wales District Court. Judge Michael Finnane told the court the amount of money taken was "staggering". Subramaniam's haul included several luxury properties in Sydney suburbs such as Bondi Beach and Kirribilli. She also bought $16 million worth of jewellery, plus handbags, make-up and clothing from designers including Armani, Chanel and Hugo Boss. This prime time current affairs series investigates major crime stories and events that hit the headlines in Australia and beyond. *Documentary: Inside Story | S2E01 | Dirty Rotten Swindlers **This film is under non-exclusive license from Banijay.
