A 89-year-old former employee who was in charge of sales based in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a major life insurance company, was filed on suspicion of fraud for deceiving 180 million yen in cash from a customer.

According to the police, the investigation is continuing because it seems that a total of about 2.2 billion yen has been illegally collected from 25 people.

The document was sent to a female 89-year-old former employee who was in charge of sales based in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a major life insurance company, Dai-ichi Life.



According to police, there is a suspicion of fraudulent deception of 180 million yen in cash from a female customer in her 70s who lives in Shunan City from March to April.



The ex-employee was given a title such as "special investigator" by the company because he had extremely good sales results, and he said to this customer, "I have a position, so I have a special quota in the company." Will manage the money and earn 30% interest in half a year. "



Police have not disclosed the approval or disapproval of the former employee.



In July last year, Dai-ichi Life dismissed a former employee as a disciplinary measure and filed a complaint with the police for illegally collecting about 1.9 billion yen by approaching multiple customers for fictitious transactions.



According to the police, the police are continuing to investigate that the amount of illegally collected by former employees in the subsequent investigation is estimated to be about 2.2 billion yen from 25 people including women.



Police also explained that they did not arrest the ex-employee because they determined that it was unlikely that the evidence would be obliterated or fled.



Regarding this issue, Dai-ichi Life has made it clear that it intends to pay the full amount after investigating and confirming the individual damage amount when there is an offer for damage.

Dai-ichi Life "Deeply apologize and strive to restore trust"

Regarding the fact that an 89-year-old ex-employee was sent documents on suspicion of fraud, Dai-ichi Life said, "We are causing a great deal of inconvenience and concern to victims, insurance policyholders, and related parties. We deeply apologize. All officers and employees will continue to work together to prevent recurrence of financial fraud and strive to restore trust. "
