Sunny Sodha, 27, a personal banker at Barclays, carried out a sophisticated scam by moving the cash to a number of bogus accounts.
Victoria Rose, prosecuting lawyer, said: “He transferred money from two customers’ savings accounts into their personal current account and opened a new account in a false name and transferred the money into that account”.
On both occasions the cash was then filtered into eight other accounts. He then wiped out various transaction details as the money quickly disappeared, according to reports.
