[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A woman in her 20s who embezzled about 500 million won over nine months while working as an accountant has been handed over to the prosecution.

According to the police on the 15th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul sent Ms. A to prosecution in late last month on charges of embezzlement in the course of duty. It is reported that the prosecution recently indicted Ms. A.

Ms. A is accused of pocketing more than 500 million won of company funds while working as an accounting staff at a manufacturing company in Gangnam-gu from July last year to March this year. It is known that she touched the company funds from her first day at the company and had previously been caught embezzling company funds at another company before joining this one.

The police received a complaint from the company in March and launched an investigation. Based on various pieces of evidence, they judged that a significant part of the complainant's claims were valid and sent Ms. A to prosecution.
