Citibank’s Legal Victory in Dismissal Case Linked to Alleged Lunch Misconduct

Citibank recently emerged victorious in an employment tribunal after terminating Szabolcs Fekete’s employment over expenses related to meals for his partner. Fekete, a former analyst at the bank, initially claimed he alone consumed the food during a business trip, but later admitted his partner had shared some meals.

Despite citing personal difficulties during the incident, the tribunal ruled in favor of Citibank, emphasizing Fekete’s failure to make a timely and transparent disclosure.

The judge highlighted the expectation of honesty from employees, particularly in roles of trust within financial institutions. Citibank, expressing satisfaction with the decision, emphasized the importance of integrity in its workforce.
