Gregor Gmerek of Moosomin has been charged with defrauding his employer, Prairie Livestock, of more than $700,000.
According to Moosomin RCMP, Gmerek, 47, had been forging and cashing company cheques-15 cheques in total-over the last several years.
Gmerek has been charged with numerous counts of uttering a forged document, forgery, and fraud over $5,000.
The charges were laid Friday, Dec. 14.
Gmerek was released to appear in provincial court in Moosomin in February, and Cpl. Andrew Dolman of the Moosomin RCMP says the matter is still under investigation.
Gmerek had pleaded guilty in Moosomin Provincial Court on November 20, 2012, to failure to file personal income tax returns for 2009 and 2010.
He was fined $2,000 on that charge. The missing tax returns have now been filed and the fines were paid at the time of sentencing
