A 28-year-old mother has pleaded guilty to 12 charges of theft as a servant before the Supreme Court.
Defendant Sausoli Loli Pili committed the crimes while working at the Samoa English Cricket Association (S.E.C.A).
According to the Police summary of facts, the mother of two was working at the Finance Department of S.E.C.A and part of her duties included banking money for the Association.

Between May 2014 to July 2014, the Court heard that Pili stole $6,550 from S.E.C.A and used it on herself.
Yesterday, the defendant asked the Court for forgiveness.
“I apologise to your Honour and I am remorseful for what I’ve done,” she said.
She pleaded for a chance to pay back the money that belongs to the Association.
Asked how she plans to pay the money since she is no longer working, she said her parents have already contacted some relatives outside of Samoa who have agreed to help.
The matter has been adjourned until the 29 September for sentencing.
