Two Suspects Transferred to Prosecutors for Embezzling Donations from 'Faceless Angel' in Nosong-dong, Jeonju

Police Report: "I Didn't Expect Things to Escalate Like This... Regretting It"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Two individuals who stole donation money left by the "Faceless Angel" in Nosong-dong, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, have been handed over to the prosecution.

The Jeonju Wansan Police Station in Jeollabuk-do announced on the 7th that A (35) and B (34), who were previously detained on charges of special theft, were sent to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.

During the police investigation, they reportedly stated, "We regret (the crime)" and "We did not expect things to escalate this much."

According to the police, they are accused of stealing 60,163,510 won in donations left by an anonymous donor known as the "Faceless Angel" behind the Nosong-dong Community Center in Jeonju around 10 a.m. on the 30th of last month.

Predicting that the annual "secret donation" by the Faceless Angel would take place again, they parked their car near the community center and waited. When the donation money was placed, they stole it and fled.

The police arrested and detained them within about four hours near Nonsan, Chungnam, and Daejeon, based on a crucial tip from a resident who found their previously unnoticed vehicle suspicious. The stolen donation money was also recovered.

The Faceless Angel has been leaving donations worth tens of millions to 100 million won near the community center every year without fail from 2000 until last year. He has never revealed his name or face even once.
