A court ruled Friday that hundreds of rare Elvis Presley records and pieces of memorabilia collected by a woman who stole almost $1 billion from her employer must be auctioned to repay her debt.
Lincoln Crown Court in eastern England said money raised at the auction should be used to repay Julie Wall's employer, North Kesteven District Council.
Prosecutors said Wall, of Sleaford, eastern England, stole the money over a 10-year period while she worked as a cashier for the council, and spent the money at collectors' fairs and specialty stores across Britain.
"There is a vast quantity of Elvis Presley memorabilia currently being held by the police," prosecutor James Dennison told the court.
He said the total value of the collection, which includes rare recordings, will not be known until it is sold by a High Court official.
Since being found guilty of theft, Wall has declared herself bankrupt following her conviction, and the Elvis collection is her only asset.
