A mother of four who stole more than $295,000 from her employers, a Double Bay nursing home, is facing 16 months imprisonment. Iboya Propaczy, 47, of Lidcombe, pleaded guilty to writing 97 fraudulent cheques to herself over a four-year period. Magistrate Clare Farnan said she deemed a custodial sentence necessary as “it is difficult to understand why Ms Propaczy has committed these offences”. Her employer of 16 years was the Gordon Group – an umbrella company which operates Mareeba Aged Care and Clermont Aged Care services. Chilean-born Propaczy wrote 73 fradulent cheques worth $195,158 to herself on behalf of Clermont Nursing Home between August 2010 and January 2014. More brazenly, Propaczy wrote another 24 cheques to herself on behalf of MacLean Valley Nursing Homes for $100,245 in an eight-month period last year before being caught out by her employer.
