IT boss gets jail for scam

AN IT boss who scammed £500,000 from the National Library of Scotland has been jailed for two years.

David Dinham, 33, swindled the institution out of the money over a four-year period when he controlled huge budgets.

His job title was chief information officer and he was in charge of IT, goods and services.

First offender Dinham, of Polwarth Gardens, admitted carrying out the embezzlement between September 6, 2006 and June 9, 2010.

During that time, Dinham was in charge of a 1.8 million project to store the library's digital archive.
