An employee who embezzled more than 10 billion won of company money and used it for personal use was arrested by the police.



The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul charged employee A with embezzlement of company money.



Person A, who was working as an accountant at a real estate-related company, is accused of tampering with the company's VAT refund.



A was able to get his hands on the company's money without much difficulty due to the nature of his work and internal organization, and after repeating stealing and storing money, it is understood that the total amount of embezzlement over 6 months alone is over 10 billion won.



As a result of the police investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A, who committed the crime alone, spent most of his embezzled money on stocks and gambling.



Meanwhile, the amount of damage is known to be the company's funds that have nothing to do with customers' pre-sale or investment.



After arresting Mr. A, the police sent him to the prosecution last month.
