Two Saemaul Geumgo employees were handed over to the prosecution on charges of embezzling 4 billion won of company money for 16 years.



On the morning of the 14th, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul sent a female Saemaul Geumgo employee A in her 50s and a boss in her 50s, B, to the prosecution without detention on charges of embezzlement and forgery of official documents under the Special Act.



A and B are accused of stealing about 4 billion won, including customer deposits and insurance product subscription fees, while working for over 30 years at the Saemaul Geumgo head office in Songpa-gu, Seoul.



The police believe that Mr. A led the crime and that Mr. B had conspired for some of her embezzlement money, and they were found to have spent all of the embezzlement money.



The actual period of the crime was 16 years, and it was investigated that Mr. A committed her crimes from 2005 to last year.



They used a 'back-blocking' method in which existing customers are paid with the deposit of new customers when their maturity is reached.



The police arrested and investigated Mr. A in April, and at that time, Mr. A is known to have surrendered to the police when embezzlement cases such as Woori Bank embezzlement were arrested one after another.
