A senior finance manager at Gedling Borough Council stole almost £1m of taxpayers money to fund his gambling addiction. Over nearly 20 years, Alan Doig transferred £934,343.30 of money meant to pay for public services into his own bank accounts.
Roger Wilson, his barrister, said: “It is a huge sum over a number of years and the sentence is inevitable, he knows that. There are a number of matters he would like to deal with . He is a man with no previous convictions as My Lady knows this was down to a gambling addiction he had where he transferred money from his employer to his own bank account due to debts he had accrued over years.
Handing him conditional bail, Judge Nirmal Shant KC said: “Your sentence will take place on October 2, you need a little time to put your house in order and that is what you will get. You must not take me handing you bail as a sign you will not receive a substantial prison sentence, this is an act of mercy on my part.”
