A Chilean worker keeps $127,000 mistakenly deposited into his account after a court ruled it wasn't theft.
A Chilean worker won a court ruling allowing him to keep 165 million pesos—about £127,000—mistakenly deposited into his account in May 2022, after a three-year legal battle.
The error occurred at Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos de Chile, where he worked as an assistant.
The company sued him for theft, seeking to recover the funds and potentially impose fines or up to 540 days in jail, but a Santiago judge ruled the situation did not constitute theft, stating the employee had not acted dishonestly.
The decision, which dismissed the theft charges, leaves the employee in possession of the money, though the company plans to appeal.
