Suspicion of illegal use of corporate card at a consignment operating facility spending on Seoul's budget has been investigated by the city.

There was a public interest report from the inside, and even though the report was made anonymously, there was a report that the fact of the report was revealed and even the report to the media was exposed.



This is Lee Hyun-jung reporter.



<Reporter>



Mr. A, who was working at a youth training center in Seoul, noticed something strange when he saw a document on the payment of work expenses posted on the internal computer network.



It was said that a new person, whom he did not know, had a meal with a colleague on a corporate card.



[Mr. A / informant: I haven't used (corporate card) and haven't seen it.

Too absurd, put us on the list with the name we don't have and the amount.]




When I searched the previous approval documents, in this way, there were several details of the use of work expenses in which the names of A and colleagues were falsely written.



[Mr. A/Suggested person: (anything falsely stated) I only checked six or seven in two months. It is operated by a foundation commissioned by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, but at first it is small, but after many years it accumulates (it will grow)] When



protesting against this, the answer of "I will remove the name from the approval document" came back. In the end, Mr. A made a public interest report to Seoul anonymously.



However, when the investigation began, Mr. A learned that not only his public interest report, but also the facts of the media report were exposed.



[Speaker-Seoul City Investigation Officer Call (January 14th): (The reporter) knew everything about me. ((At the training center) Conversely, he said that it is possible to estimate who the (reporter) is. We do not respond to that.)] The



training center told reporters, "The staff in charge said that there was a mistake in accounting because the staff in charge was inexperienced at work. , I will correct my mistakes."



The city of Seoul stated that it is being closely investigated for the past year's worth of business promotion expenses, and that it has not disclosed the identity of the informant.
