Prosecutors seek 20 years in prison for '18 billion embezzlement' Woori Bank employee

The Changwon District Prosecutors' Office asked the court to sentence a man in his 30s, a Woori Bank employee, to 20 years in prison for stealing about 18 billion won.

It also demanded a fine of 100 million won and a fine of 10.54 billion won.

Mr. A, a corporate loan officer, is accused of stealing 17.7 billion won by forging loan documents under the name of customers 35 times in 10 months from July last year.

It turns out that A took the money by applying for a false loan with a made-up loan document and diverting the loan to an acquaintance's account.

According to the investigation, Mr. A spent all of the 18 billion won he had siphoned off, including about 15 billion won to buy virtual assets.
