*Man Charged with Embezzling over $350,000 from Gross Pointe Woods Wine Shop*





*LANSING – *Today, Ishpinder Sahni, 31, of Grosse Pointe Woods, was arraigned before Judge Theodore A. Metry in the Grosse Pointe Woods Municipal Court for allegedly embezzling over $350,000 from his employer, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Sahni faces: 


* Three counts of Embezzlement over $100,000, 20-year felonies;
* Three counts of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, 20-year felonies; and
* Three counts of Failure to File Taxes, 5-year felonies.

Sahni worked as Chief Operating Officer at Woods Wholesale Wine in Grosse Pointe Woods from 2021 to 2023. It is alleged he diverted over $350,000 in online sales into his own bank account during his employment. Sahni is also alleged to have failed to report the income on his Michigan tax returns. 

“Embezzlement is a serious crime that can devastate small businesses and have a ripple effect throughout their communities,” Nessel said. “My office will continue to hold employees who steal from their employers accountable to protect business owners and their customers.” 

Sahni will next appear in the Grosse Pointe Woods Municipal Court on November 13 at 9 a.m. for a Probable Cause Conference.
