A finance worker who stole £75,000 from his dead bank customers to fund a ‘lavish lifestyle’ was caught out by his girlfriend’s social media posts.
Corey Casagrande, 37, used the stolen money to fund his gambling addiction and expensive holidays which his girlfriend posted all over social media.
The father-of-three worked as a team leader for Target Financial Services which provided a range of services for big names like the BBC, Barclays, and Credit Suisse.
HOW HE WAS CAUGHT OUT
During an internal investigation, the Facebook account of Casagrande’s girlfriend Jemma Connor – who also worked for the firm – was checked.
Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard ‘entries that suggested that she had been spending large amounts of money and living a lavish lifestyle’ were found.

This included pictures of holidays and of Christian Louboutin designer shoes.
The court heard Casagrande had a ‘sophisticated’ understanding of the internal systems of the company and used fake documents from real solicitors to steal the money from dead customers.
