A new development in the case of a former employee of the Municipality of Gilbert Plains, charged with Fraud and Theft.
40-year-old Amber Fisher, who was the former Chief Administrative Officer of the Municipality, had been under investigation since 2022, after a fraud complaint was made to the Manitoba RCMP Cyber and Financial Crime Unit.
The complaint alleged that Fisher had defrauded the Municipality of upwards of 500-thousand dollars while employed there.
Fisher had her matters heard in Winnipeg Provincial Court Aug. 1, where two charges – Fraud over $5,000 and Use of Proceeds Knowing it was Obtained by the Commission of Crime – were stayed by the Crown Prosecutor.
However, Fisher will return to Dauphin Provincial Court on May 11, 2026, on the remaining charge, of Theft over $5,000.
