[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The Seongdong Police Station in Seoul sent Clio cosmetics company employee A to detention on the morning of the 18th on charges of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (embezzlement in the course of business).
A, who was a sales employee, is accused of embezzling about 1.89 billion won by siphoning off part of the profits received from a home shopping cosmetics sales company between early last year and early this year. It is reported that most of the embezzled amount was lost to gambling, making recovery difficult.
Meanwhile, the police received a complaint from the company in February this year and began an investigation, detaining A on the 13th of this month.
