Bank Fraud

Good day!

Im creating this forum to have a clearer view about a recent legal case I just found out with one of the member of my family. As the concern was just disclosed, I want know how to help, what to do and what to expect moving forward.

Bank Fraud based on my research is the legal case where facing right now. Here is a brief view of what happened, one of the member of my family committed the crime. Formerly a bank employee and commit theft by falsifying deposit slips. Right now, the bank is already after her. Im not sure about the exact figure but it is more than 1M. Case is already under RTC.

May I seek assistance nor clarification what are the possible punishment we expect? I also want to know how to lessen the possible punishment?

Timely response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Possible punishment? It is hard to say. You need to reach a lawyer. While your at it, here is an example of what will be the outcome of the said case -
