Wendy Karaolglu is expected in provincial court in Grand Falls-Windsor Friday for sentencing on charges of defrauding MCP.

Her sister Denise Hemeon was sentenced to 30 months jail time in January for defrauding MCP of more than $500,000 while she was employed with the agency. In Wendy Karaoglu’s case, $215,000 of the money was deposited into her account,. However, she says she had no idea what her sister was doing at the time. She told the court in a recent appearance she is deeply remorseful. She has no prior record and her lawyer is recommending a conditional sentence.
