L.S. did not attend work during the mentioned period but was paid 2 million 797 thousand 529 AMD as salary, vacation payment and other payments. The accountant N.A. was aware of this but included L.S.’s name in the employees’ monthly working time sheet and submitted for the Director’s signature, who was not aware of this fact. The money was transferred to the account in the name of L.S. but in fact owned by A.A., who cashed out and used the money.
