An Indian-origin web manager charged with siphoning off over 100,000 pounds from his boss' UK-based firm was jailed for 39 months by a court in London on Tuesday. Gaurav Sachan, who worked as digital head for home improvement firm Alison At Home, had pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London. The 31-year-old was accused of stealing 104,581 pounds from celebrity interior designer Alison Cork. Another accounts manager at the business was jailed in February last year for stealing 23,000 pounds from the company. Alison Cork, who launched the home improvement business in 2012, is a well-known interior designer and also appears on television makeover shows in the UK.
