Bank clerk jailed for ‘outrageous’ €90m scam

A GREEDY bank clerk was jailed for nine years for trying to steal nearly £72 million (€90.6m) from HSBC.

Jagmeet Channa, 25, who worked at the Canary Wharf headquarters of Britain’s biggest bank, hijacked colleagues’ identities to plunder its coffers in “one of the biggest frauds of its kind”.

Hoping the looming weekend would help hide his betrayal, he followed the orders of fellow conspirators by first sending €60m from one of its trading accounts to Morocco.
