[Exclusive] Seoul Jungang Nonghyup Employee Embezzles 2 Billion Won, Police Launch Investigation

Male Employee A Booked on Embezzlement Charges
Police Plan to Investigate Additional Victims

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] It has been confirmed that an employee of Seoul Nonghyup is under police investigation for embezzling approximately 2 billion KRW.

On the 30th, according to a comprehensive report by Asia Economy, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul has booked and is investigating a male employee, Mr. A, at the Seoul Jungang Nonghyup Guui Station on charges of embezzlement after evidence emerged that he diverted about 2 billion KRW of customer funds. However, the embezzled amount is based on Mr. A's statement and may change later.

Earlier that day, a customer who visited another bank to apply for a loan accidentally discovered that he had recently taken out a 45 million KRW loan under his name at Nonghyup, and reported this to the police, which led to the uncovering of the crime.

After analyzing CCTV footage, the police confirmed that the customer had never visited Nonghyup. Consequently, the police investigated the Nonghyup employees and identified Mr. A.

Regarding this matter, a police official stated, "We are currently investigating the case" and added, "We plan to investigate additional victims as well."
