SAN JOSE, Calif.—A former Apple employee has been charged with defrauding the tech giant out of more than $10 million by taking kickbacks, stealing equipment, and laundering money, federal prosecutors said.
Dhirendra Prasad, 52, worked for 10 years as a buyer in Apple’s Global Service Supply Chain department. A federal criminal case unsealed Friday alleges that he exploited his position to defraud the company in several schemes, including stealing parts and causing the company to pay for items and services it never received.
