A builder who used company funds to pay for his high-performance car and stole almost £90,000 in plant machinery has been given a suspended sentence.
Vasile Hrusca withdrew more than £67,000 from his own failing company in 2019 to pay off the remaining balance on a hire purchase agreement for an Audi RS6 which he had bought the previous year for just under £75,000.
The 40-year-old also sold seven diggers and other plant machinery which were still subject to hire purchase agreements with two separate banks to fund gambling.
Hrusca, of Ferndown, Hornchurch, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for two years, when he appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday…
