A postmistress who spent more than five years embezzling cash from her work and a community charity is being chased for £100,000 by the Crown.
Carol Oswald is serving a 40-month jail sentence and had initially been told she would be pursued for £50,000 under proceeds of crime legislation.
But Oswald, 53, returned to Perth Sheriff Court on Thursday to be informed that prosecutors had doubled the amount they are seeking to claw back from her.
The court was told that the Crown is now pursuing £100,000 they claim Oswald made from her criminal activities for more than half a decade.
The case will call again at the court later this month.
Oswald was jailed for 40 months in May last year after she admitted stealing and embezzling more than £110,000.
The sub-post office manager frittered the money on internet betting and claimed she kept going to try and win back money to pay for the losses the business was racking up.
As well as embezzling money from her work and a community environmental charity, Oswald also stole more than £8,000 from the elderly woman who trusted her to run the post office.
She stole directly from 81-year-old Jean Johnson, but also left the pensioner who owned the post office business liable for the £100,000 Oswald embezzled from the branch.
