Mother of a Child with Medical Needs Avoids Jail | Glasgow News

Margaret Jacovelli, who embezzled over £128,000 from an energy company just before it collapsed, received a lenient sentence after pleading her case as a devoted single mother caring for her daughter with serious medical needs. Though the court acknowledged her crimes and her defense’s claim that she didn’t personally benefit, the sheriff ultimately opted for two years of social work supervision, 300 unpaid hours, and a six-month electronic curfew — avoiding jail — citing her caregiving role and clean past.
