Collector ‘flees’ with trader’s P170T cash
AN INDIAN national, who runs a small money lending business in Lapu-Lapu City, lost his P170,000 cash and master list of debtors to his trusted collector.
Jojo Kumar, 47, filed a complaint against Fe Inot, who also worked as the victim’s driver, for the loss of money.
Last Friday, Kumar sent Inot to the bank to deposit P170,000, which was intended for his friend in Manila.
Inot went home in the evening and returned the multicab she had used. The suspect allegedly left secretly after having dinner at Kumar’s place.
When Inot disappeared, Kumar immediately called up his friend in Manila to check if the money has been sent. Kumar’s friend said he did not receive any money.
Kumar said Inot, who used to collect P5,000 cash from debtors everyday, had been with him for months. Many times, Kumar said, Inot had deposited huge amounts of money.
Since Inot allegedly took with her the master list of debtors, the Indian national cannot collect money from his clients. He does not know his debtors’ names and addresses.
Even the debtors don’t know Kumar since it was Inot who transacted with them on his behalf.
SP01 Fermin Donque, Lapu-Lapu City Theft and Robbery Section investigator, said they are already preparing charges against Inot. (OCP)
