An employee of Woori Bank who embezzled 61.4 billion won from the company's company appeared before the court's interrogation of the suspect.
Employee A appeared in front of the Seoul Central District Court at 1:40 pm today (30th).
Wearing a white T-shirt, black training pants and slippers, Mr. A briefly said "I'm sorry" when the reporters asked if he had used up the embezzlement or the reason for his surrender, and then headed to court.
Person A was urgently arrested by the police on the 28th on charges of embezzling about 61.4 billion won of company funds three times from 2012 to 2018.
Mr. A, a deputy general manager who has been at Woori Bank for over 10 years, was in the corporate improvement department at the time of the embezzlement.
Most of the embezzlement money was found to be a contract deposit that Woori Bank had to return to the Iranian home appliance company Entekhab, which participated in the sale of the former Daewoo Electronics.
While investigating the flow of funds through Mr. A's account, the police caught a clue that part of the embezzlement went to Mr. A's brother's business funds, and arrested Mr. A's brother on the same charges the day before.
It is known that Mr. A's brother suffered a loss of 8 billion won while promoting the New Zealand golf course resort development project.
It is known that the police plan to apply for an arrest warrant as early as this afternoon after completing the investigation into Mr. A's brother.
