Viking Cruises embezzler jailed

YET another former Australian cruise staffer is facing prison, after the sentencing yesterday in Sydney of Lisa Maree Jeffers who was the Office Manager for Viking Cruises from 2014 to 2017.

Jeffers left the company in Oct 2017, after financial irregularities led to a full audit.

It’s alleged she used fake invoices to misdirect payments into her own bank account, with police ultimately charging her late last year, followed by a series of court appearances in which Jeffers ultimately pleaded guilty.

A two-year sentence was handed down for the theft which amounted to more than $160,000, while the judge also ordered the repayment of $150,000 during the sentencing.

The imprisonment follows other recent sentences handed down to former Silversea and CMV staff – more in today’s Cruise Weekly.
