Solange Crevier, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Monday, can regain her freedom while waiting for the appeals court to hear her case.
The 59-year-old woman had requested to serve her sentence in the community, but the judge ruled that jail time was necessary in her case.
Forbidden in Desjardins
Solange Crevier, aka Joane Richer or Solane Greuier, can regain her freedom pending her appeal, but must comply with certain conditions.
One of them states that she should not be with or go to the Caisses populaires de Québec and Lévis.
Crevier had worked under his pseudonyms both at Desjardins in Lévis and for the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
The computer consultant had acted this way as she was unable to find work under her real name as she had already been convicted of fraud, specifically at VIA Rail.
Between 2015 and 2017, she therefore worked on the implementation of a technological system at Desjardins under the name of someone from her family who was unaware of the deception.
Solange Crevier had already been sentenced to six months in prison in 2021 for working on the management board of VIA Rail, again under a false name.
