A former Hadeed Motors employee, Dylan Simon pleaded not guilty to six charges related to an alleged scam at the car dealership.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Simon, who worked at Hadeed Motors from 1998 to 2020, handling transactions and financial matters, was scrutinized during a manual transaction period from April to May 2020 due to the Covid-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n

Discrepancies in his transactions were noticed during a routine audit when the business reopened in late May.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Subsequent investigations revealed discrepancies in bank deposits, unauthorized release of a vehicle, and fraudulent activities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Now in his 40s, Simon denies all charges and is set to face trial on January 24 before Justice Tunde Bakre.<\/p>\n
