Indicted for embezzling 100 million euros from Kiabi, the former treasurer of the clothing brand widely flaunted her success and fortune on social networks.
An incredible affair. A former treasurer of Kiabi was indicted for “organized gang fraud and money laundering”. The loss for the ready-to-wear brand would be colossal: it would amount to 100 million euros, or 4% of turnover.
According to information from franceinfo, Kiabi sought to recover an investment made a year earlier in mid-July, but when the company approached the bank, the money had “volatilized”, according to a technique known as “rebound accounts”.

In her luggage: no less than 500,000 euros of jewelry and other luxury items. The person concerned, who remains presumed innocent, was immediately taken into custody. For now, the investigation continues.
