A trial is to be held in French Polynesia in May of the accountant of the duty-free shop of Tahiti airport accused of fraud.
According to Tahiti-infos, the woman, who is said to be in her forties, diverted $US1.2 million over a five-year period.
The reports said she turned herself in in June when an audit was about to be undertaken.
She was presented to a judge who placed her under restrictions pending her trial.
Investigations revealed that she used the money to build a house and invest in some businesses.
