The trial of Dylan Simon, accused of defrauding Hadeed Motors, ended this week with closing arguments.<\/p>

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

Simon, who worked at the dealership from 1998 to 2020, faces charges including larceny, forgery, and inputting false data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crimes allegedly occurred between December 30, 2019, and January 3, 2020, and were discovered in May 2020 during an internal audit after the Covid-19 lockdown.<\/p>

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

Simon denies the charges, claiming he is being framed. <\/p>

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

His lawyer argued that someone else could have used Simon\u2019s profile and pointed out the lack of strict procedures at Hadeed Motors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prosecution described the case as one of “contrivance and manipulation,” alleging Simon used his skills to defraud the company. The verdict will be delivered on July 23.<\/p>
