A woman who stole $49,500 from an asbestos charity by putting her own details on a cheque has been ordered to perform 300 hours of community service
A woman who stole $49,500 from an asbestos charity by putting her own details on a cheque has avoided a custodial prison sentence and been ordered to perform 300 hours of community service.
Catherine Koster stole $49,500 from her former employer, the Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia. Under the terms of the order, she must not commit any further offence, must be supervised by Community Corrections at Burwood, and perform 300 hours of community service. Koster's lawyer told the court last year she was expecting an inheritance from overseas which would allow her to pay back what she had stolen.
