Banker Fired for Expensing Partner's Meals and Then Lying About It Loses Wrongful Dismissal Lawsuit

Citibank analyst Szabolcs Fekete expensed meals for two during a work trip to Amsterdam.
When questioned, Fekete lied that he had consumed both meals himself.
After an investigation, Citibank fired Fekete for gross misconduct over the false expense claims.
Fekete sued Citibank for wrongful dismissal but lost the case in a London employment tribunal.
The judge ruled Fekete acted dishonestly and the firing was reasonable given the importance of honesty in banking.
