Woman accused of embezzling over $3M from tax consultancy

A woman was yesterday released on $200,000 bail after she denied six charges that she embezzled over $3.1 million from her place of employment.

Solana Wills, 31, who was employed as a supervisor at the Leibrands Financial Management and Tax Consultancy, was arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where Senior Magistrate Leron Daly read the charges to her.

The particulars of the six charges state that Wills, between August 1 and December 20, 2021, at D’Urban Street, Georgetown, while being a Clerk or Servant of Leibrands Financial Management and Tax Consultancy, fraudulently embezzled the sum of $3,134,290, in cash, received or taken into possession by her for or on account of her employer. Following her not guilty plea, she was released on $200,000 bail for one of the six charges and released on self-bail for the others. She is expected to return to court at a later date.
