Restaurant cashier banished for using customer’s cash card

A City Garden restaurant cashier has been banished for six months by the Civil Court for taking Rf500 from a customer’s cash card, reports Haveeru.
Customers in the Maldives routinely give their pin number to the waiter along with their card.
The Civil Court ruled that Hassan Azhar should be banished on the basis of confession and documents, after he received the card from a waiter and used it to withdraw Rf500 without the customer’s consent.
This is the first time such a case has been prosecuted, Haveeru noted.
