�PHILIPSBURG--W.A., who had confessed to embezzling US $150,000 from Windward Islands Bank (WIB), was released after the judge lifted her preliminary detention on Friday.
� W.A. who had confessed to using her role in the bank's Credit Card Department to embezzle the funds via an intricate loan issuing and payback system was granted her freedom on the grounds that her presence in the general public would not hinder the investigation into the fraud.
� Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos said that the suspension of her preliminary detention had been authorised because "in order to detain a suspect for their confession, sufficient evidence is needed to support the suspect's admission to the crime."
� "Her detention is not crucial to the investigation. She does not pose a threat to witnesses ? if any ? in the way that a suspected robber or murderer would," Mos explained.
� The Prosecutor's Office will continue its investigation and W.A. remains a key suspect.
