More details have emerged around a $1 million heist at the Dakota Whitecap First Nation near Saskatoon.

Hugo Gallegos, 40, is alleged to have embezzled the money over a period of two or three years.

Gallegos worked as a senior accountant at the casino and has not been since he went on holiday at the end of July.

The RCMP says he has fled to his home country of El Salvador and the police agency is working with Interpol.

Residents feel betrayed and are hopeful he can be caught and prosecuted.
