Im sure I would notice a £12 cheque going missing, never mind £1.2m

That beggars belief.

She was given a suspended sentence because she needs to care for her husband.

How does it really work. For a start her husband and son would be better off in care it seems, she is truly selfish.

"She said the thefts came about because Khan's husband was prone to piling up debt which she sought to repay."

Obviously it was the husbands fault all along, she was only doing the right thing due to his awful financial decisions..

Hopefully the businesses were doing well and the affected are set to receive a nice bonus with the repayment of some of the monies!

Sounds like a bit of a rocket surgeon if she was using stolen funds to buy expensive cars and personalised plates.
