Palma: Employee Allegedly Diverted €31,000 from Vending Machines

Answer

How can a vending machine company in Mallorca lose money without noticing for months?

In a cash-based business, losses can build up slowly if access to machines, collection routes, and daily takings are not tightly monitored. In Palma, investigators said the case only came to light after an internal audit, which suggests the problem was not a single error but weak controls over time.
