<Anchor> An



employee of the Korean embassy in Mongolia was discovered after issuing a false official document to a person who was not an embassy employee and allowed them to obtain a visa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a 'one-month disposition of honesty' only to the person in charge after five years, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism of cutting off the tail due to international disgrace.

<Reporter> This



is the reason for the decision of the disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding Mr. A, an employee of the Mongolian Embassy.



It contains the contents that the visa application preference was provided to construction workers who participated in the construction of the embassy building with a total construction period of 2 years and a budget of 11.5 billion won.



In June 2015, Mr. A wrote an official diplomatic document by pretending to be an embassy administrator for 7 employees of a construction company.



When the Mongolian government requested that the document be supplemented to ensure that it was an actual embassy employee, he registered as an embassy employee in the internal system and even received a visa.



Something similar happened again.



They also falsely registered the representative of a heating and cooling maintenance company as an embassy employee and allowed them to obtain a residence permit.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs disciplinary process started after five years, and Mr. A was sentenced to 'one month of honesty'.



[Mr. A: Of course, there must have been another way. But because that was the safest and easiest way to do it. I reviewed it and uploaded it, so I got approval and dealt with it. I have explained everything.]



The superiors and ambassadors who received reports and even approved the illegal acts that even the Mongolian government had become aware of were not held responsible.



[Kim Kyung-hyeop / Member of the Democratic Party of Korea: Submitting a false official document to the government of the other country is an unimaginably large crime.

It's a typical tail cut, wrap around my family.

Let's find out the truth even now.] The



Ministry of Foreign Affairs recognized and disciplined the employees for misconduct at the time, but did not give an answer to the disposition of superiors.
