A bank clerk at a branch near the city hall has been caught misappropriating 39,000 euros belonging to her customer. Instead of transferring these funds into an official savings book as required by banking regulations and law for deposits up to this amount in Macedonia, she deposited them directly onto personal accounts or cashed out immediately after receiving payment from clients who came with checks exceeding the legal limit set at 39k euro (€105).
