Athena Forensics were instructed by the Chairman of a company who supplied products to a chain of UK based supermarkets due to suspicions that a Director of the firm may have been committing fraud within the company.
Initially an examination of a laptop computer and a desktop computer were conducted that resulted in the identification of evidence to suggest that the Director had setup another company and was operating that company to take and supply goods from their employer and sell them cheaper to his own customers, some of which were also originally customers of his employer.
The findings of the computer forensic examination report resulted in the court granting a seizure order and Athena Forensics were then instructed to assist in the identification, examination and seizure of evidence from the home address of the company director.
This examination eventually resulted in the identification of approximately £1,000,000 worth of sales for goods that had been taken from the employer and personally sold by the company director.
