After conducting an internal investigation, WestJet referred the matter to ALERT Calgary’s Financial Crime team in July 2015.
Gough was charged with fraud and theft over $5,000 on April 19.
It’s believed no WestJet customers were defrauded.
ALERT is a compilation of RCMP and local police forces across Alberta that targets serious and organized crime.
