Authorities in Afghan are searching for a young woman who is suspected with stealing a million dollars from her employer.  The woman, Shokofa Salehi, was an employee at Azizi Bank. The 22 year old’s job in the  money transfer division paid off big time for her. Officials say that Salehi was able to transfer $1.1 million from the bank into other accounts. The accounts all belonged to her own relatives, states officials.

 

Salehi is suspected to be a part of a mafia group. She is currently under an “Interpol red notice” (i.e. international arrest warrant) and is being charged with fraud and misusing her authority. Officials believe that she is living under a new name (Samira) somewhere in India. They also suspect that there were at least ten other individuals who assist her in the theft. Her own parents are part of that group and are on the run as well.
