Overview

• At Maidstone Crown Court on July 4, Megan Reynolds admitted three counts of fraud and had a further three counts ordered to lie on file.
• Investigators found she misused company credit cards to steal £78,000 from CSL Power Systems between 2019 and 2021 and another £18,500 from ATL Retail Ltd.
• Prosecutors detailed how Reynolds concealed lavish expenses for hotels, dinners and clubbing using fabricated invoices and false banking updates.
• Her 45-month term was suspended for two years, and the court ordered 15 rehabilitation activity days plus 200 hours of unpaid work.
• Spokespersons for both firms criticised the ruling as too lenient and warned it sets a worrying precedent for white-collar crime accountability.
