A FORMER fishing executive who embezzled more than £1,000 from his Lochaber employer has been admonished.
Fort William Sheriff Court last week heard John Hermse from Argus Lodge, Wards Road, Elgin, has paid back the £1,116.09 which belonged to the Mallaig and North West Fisherman’s Association (MNFWA).
During his employment with the association, Hermse had enjoyed access to a company credit card to use for his own expenses, including travel costs to help carry out his day to day tasks.
