Daniel Peter Vanderwerff is being sought by Interpol. He was last known to be in the Cayman Islands in 2007.
Vanderwerff, now 45, first appeared in Summary Court on a charge of theft on 20 June 2007. He was accused of stealing US$230,647.29 from K-Coast Development Ltd, where he had worked as project manager.
Monies were allegedly taken between April 2006 and February 2007.
He was bailed on terms that included a $5,000 cash bond and a charge of $50,000 on property Vanderwerff owned in the Spotts area. He was not to leave the jurisdiction or attempt to do so, the court said.
A second set of charges was brought on 8 November 2007. Three alleged that Vanderwerff falsified payment instructions in the computer system of K-Coast, his employers, by entering false amounts for payment. A fourth charge related to obtaining a wire transfer for CI$84,000 by deception.
On 27 November 2007, there was an emergency application to vary his bail because Vanderwerff had fallen from a roof and fractured his pelvis. The court was told he needed to be airlifted off-island.
He was granted permission to leave the jurisdiction for medical treatment and his passport was returned to him.
He never returned, forfeiting the cash bond on his house.
According to a report in the Calgary Free Press, Vanderwerff had been working as a construction practice manager for a firm named Omicron.
A receptionist at the company told the Calgary paper the wanted man left his position there in mid-January.
Vanderwerff himself did not return calls from the Canadian newspaper, according to reports.
