A 21-year member of the Calgary Police Service has been charged with fraud after a year-long investigation.
Police say an officer noticed a suspicious charge on his personal credit card back in December of 2015 and reported it.
An investigation was launched and the online transaction was traced back to a constable who was a co-worker of the victim.
The case was referred to the Anti-Corruption team and the charge was laid after consultation with Edmonton’s Crown Prosecutor’s Office.
Chris Sudu, 48, is charged with one count of fraud under $5,000 and is currently on leave for an unrelated matter.
Police say it was a one-time incident and that Sudu is cooperating with the investigation.
An investigation will be done by the Professional Standards Section once the criminal process is complete.
