A court in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, sentenced a woman to three years in jail for stealing 1,500 euros from her employer to gamble.

Zhang Li, 32, was once married to a millionaire. She quit her job after giving birth to a boy two years ago.

With a lot of free time on her hands, Zhang started gambling and lost thousands of yuan in a hand one day, after which her husband divorced her.

Zhang started working for an expatriate family as a maid to make ends meet and stole 1,500 euros from the house and gambled the cash away.
