I don’t think it frustration… is about bad publicity that exposes their weak systems. Most companies absorb the losses but learn!! Is it really worth it for a company like Airtel to go into court battles that will last years over 25M loss? They are making much higher losses anyway!!
With fraud, the amount stolen is usually higher that the amount that ends up in the charge sheets because companies opt to push for prosecution for amounts that they can easily prove as stolen.
The rule is simple, if you dont catch them early, prepare for disaster. 25m looks like small change but its not. The guy probably stole 100m plus.
Is it worth risking your reputation, yes it is. There are probably others within Airtel who are stealing but will be stopped by the publicity that the company engaged in.
Is it worth killing a mosquito with hammer? Yes.
Could the case delay in the courts so long that Airtel will decide to drop it? Yes but the accused will have spent most of his proceeds from the crime paying lawyers. In fact I know that there are cases in which the company's strategy is not to win but to make sure that the thief does not benefit from the proceeds of the crime. Once your lawyer gets wind of how much you stole, you are in for hefty legal fees. That is every defrauded company's dream!
