Maho comptroller?s detention suspended

MAHO--Fraud suspect D.M. was released from police custody last week Friday. D.M.'s lawyer Remco Stomp said the Judge of Instruction had suspended his client's pretrial detention on "personal grounds."

D.M. was arrested on suspicion of embezzling large sums of money from Sonesta Maho Resort on November 18. Resort management first learnt of D.M.'s alleged embezzlement scheme through an audit done by an independent accounting agency. The report showed several discrepancies that gave cause for further investigation. At that time it was also learnt that D.M. was making plans to leave the island.

The investigation into D.M.'s activities focused on finding the embezzled funds. Investigators believed his money was saved in Canada, his birth country.

D.M. had worked as comptroller for Sonesta Maho for more than 10 years prior to his arrest. He held a management level position and was responsible for supervising the quality of the resort's accounting and financial reporting.
