Daejeon Nonprofit Private Organization's '37 Million Won Subsidy' Fraudulent Receipt

A full-scale investigation confirmed that nonprofit organizations in the Daejeon area fraudulently received subsidies.

On the 23rd, Daejeon City announced that as a result of a full investigation into the "Status of Local Subsidies for Nonprofit Organizations from 2018 to 2022," nine organizations were found to have fraudulently received a total of 37 million KRW in 12 cases over the past five years.

It was identified that these organizations either submitted falsified documents (with unclear accounting) to receive subsidies or used the subsidies for purposes different from their original project plans.

Daejeon City plans to take measures against the organizations caught in the investigation according to the Local Subsidy Act, including recovering subsidies, imposing penalty surcharges, and excluding them from performing local subsidy projects.

A Daejeon City official stated, "Separately from taking measures against the organizations identified in the full investigation, we plan to continue investigating cases of fraudulent subsidy receipt among local nonprofit organizations."
