KINGSTON, Jamaica — In a significant legal development, former credit union employee Dianne Thompson was discharged from a multimillion-dollar larceny case on Tuesday by Parish Court Judge Paula Blake Powell. Thompson had been accused of embezzling $2.6 million from 25 customers of the credit union where she was previously employed. She faced 22 charges, including simple larceny and unauthorized access to computer data, to which she pleaded not guilty. The case was dismissed after it was confirmed that Thompson had repaid $2.7 million to the credit union, exceeding the initial amount she was accused of stealing. However, further investigations revealed additional missing funds, bringing the total to over $6 million. Thompson had been instructed to repay the full amount by her case management date in October, but the remaining balance will now be addressed in a separate legal proceeding. The case highlights ongoing issues of financial misconduct and the complexities of restitution in such matters.
