Post office chief nabbed for embezzling

(ANSA) - Sassari, October 5 - Finance police on Monday arrested the director of the post office of the northern Sardinian village of Calangianus after discovering he embezzled at least 25,000 euros from the savings account of an 80-year-old woman who lives in London.
    Maurizio Guerzi, 55, was caught red-handed as he withdrew the maximum monthly amount of 2,500 euros from the victim's account, using a second bank card he had requested on her behalf but without her knowledge.
    He had kept this up for almost a year, finance police said.
    Guerzi had been accused of embezzling 120,000 from several elderly victims in the past, but was reinstated at his job at the post office nevertheless.
