from the institution, is scheduled to appear in the Half-Way-Tree Criminal
Court Tuesday to answer to fraud and larceny charges.
Rajesh Sujanani, 30, who is attached the NCB's New Kingston Branch, was charged following investigations into the illegal withdrawals of millions of dollars from the accounts of several NCB customers.

He was offered $500,000 station bail.

Meanwhile, another NCB employee has also been charged for stealing funds from the financial institution.
Kemisha Francis, 21, who is attached to NCB's Capital Market Limited, is accused of manipulating the system to steal a little over $1 million.
Ms Francis was arrested on December 31 after the bank discovered the racket and called in the Fraud Squad.
She was charged and later released on $400,000 station bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, January 16.
