Sworn application of Marketplay Ltd (C83136) of Level 3, Suite ADR5494, Tower Business Centre, Swatar, Birkirkara BKR 4013, Malta

Declared with respect and under oath Anna Ivanova Komemi (Residency Document MT1136165) declares and confirms that she is personally aware of the following facts:

1. The plaintiff company operates in the remote gaming industry, and the defendant was employed with the company on 3rd February, 2020;

2. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as from 13th March, 2020, all the company's employees the company asked all of its employees, including the defendant, were requested to work from home, and in order to carry out their responsibilities, they were given all the necessary equipment, including access to the company's system via a static whitelisted internet protocol (IP);

3. As part of her role, the defendant enjoyed a number of privileges that included issuing bonuses, redeeming/cancelling bonuses, approving KYC documents, communicating with Finance to speed up a withdrawal, and issue compensations to players when required;

4. On 28th December, 2021, the company conducted an internal investigation on unusually high bonuses, and it emerged that these high bonuses had been credited to five specific accounts that were created on 6th May, 2020, 9th November, 2020, 9th July, 2021, 24th July, 2021 and 26th August, 2021;

5. Upon further investigations conducted by the company, it emerged that all five accounts had been created via three Internet Protocols (IP) used by the defendant that corresponded to her residences during her period of employment;

6. It further emerged that all five accounts had all been accessed from the defendant's last IP, that is, the IP at her current residence where she has been living since 4th June, 2021;

7. It also emerged that the account holder of all these five accounts is a certain Nico Buchholz, a German national bearing Maltese Identity Card number 266730A, the defendant's boyfriend who also lives with her;

8. During the relative period, the defendant has been systematically crediting the five accounts that she herself had created, with money belonging to the company, and she would subsequently withdraw these monies and partially reinsert them into the system evidently with the intention of simulating regular player activity, and this activity justified more bonuses;

9. With her conduct, the defendant misappropriated the global sum of seventy-three thousand four hundred twenty-seven euro and seventy-three cents (€73,427.73) from the company;

10. On 31st December, 2021, the defendant confessed that she carried out this activity and she assumed full responsibility for the entire affair;

11. The defendant is therefore a debtor of the company in the sum of seventy-three thousand four hundred twenty-seven euro and seventy-three cents (€73,427.73), that is money she misappropriated from the company;

12. Even though the defendant was called a number of times upon to reimburse the full amount, she remains in default;

13. The debt owed to the company by the defendant is certain, liquidated, and due, and it is the company's belief that the defendant has no defence to this action;

14. There are therefore all the elements required by law in terms of Article 167 of Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta for this court to give judgment without proceeding to trial.

Therefore, for the aforementioned reasons and following any other declaration that may be required necessary, the company humbly requests this Honourable Court to:

1. Deliver judgment by acceding to the demand, without proceeding to trial in terms of Articles 167 to 170 of Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta;

2. Declare that the defendant is a debtor of the plaintiff company in the sum of seventy-three thousand four hundred twenty-seven euro and seventy-three cents (€73,427.73);

3. Condemn the defendant to pay the plaintiff company the sum of seventy-three thousand four hundred twenty-seven euro and seventy-three cents (€73,427.73).

With costs, including those of the garnishee order filed concurrently with this case, and with interests at the highest rate permissible by law until effective payment.

The application is appointed for hearing for Friday, 2nd of December, 2022, at 9.00 a.m.
