Denis Batinovic, 47, has been handed a two-year community sentence and one year of probation for defrauding Northwest BC Mechanical 2015 Ltd. of $281,747 while he was the company's general manager.

A former manager who defrauded his Burnaby employer of more than $280,000 over five years to fuel a drug and gambling addiction has been handed a two-year community sentence and one year of probation.

'There's no question where this money was going' For five years, Batinovic wrote bogus invoices to himself and changed other accounts in the company's books to hide his tracks, Adams said. "Upon being fired or dismissed from her job, she immediately reported all these matters to the company in March 2020, and that ultimately resulted in a police investigation," Adams said.

'Driving factor' In a joint sentencing submission, both Arnet-Zargarian and Crown prosecutor Ian Hay called for a two-year conditional sentence , two years of probation and a $50,000 restitution order.
