Something like a movie happened.

First, can you briefly summarize the case?

[기자]

The place where 14.5 billion won has disappeared is a large casino in Jeju.

55-year-old A, a casino executive who disappeared at the end of last year, is considered a leading suspect.

The casino confirmed that the money had disappeared on the 4th and a complaint was filed with the police on the 5th, the next day, accusing Mr. A of embezzlement.

The police investigated it and found 81 billion won in the casino vault and 4 billion won somewhere.

After investigating the behavior of Mr. A, it was confirmed that there are two accomplices associated with casino customers, but one has already left the country and is pursuing one accomplice in his 30s who is found to be in Korea.

[앵커]

14.5 billion won was also a significant weight, so it would not have been easy to get the money back.

[기자]

Yes, it is.

500 million won worth 50,000 won weighs 10 kg.

14.5 billion won is 290 kg, and it is difficult for a woman in her 50s.

Therefore, it seems that they used the VIP vault in the casino rather than pulling out the money all at once.

Police said that Mr. A and his accomplice had followed the security procedures of the casino vault when they stole money.

According to the security procedures, the safe must be opened by the owner and staff of the safe each with a key, and only one set of safes can be used at a time.

[앵커]

If you used the safe, how did you use it?

[기자]

As I said earlier, the safe must be opened by the owner and the employee.

Mr. A was an executive in charge of the safe and he was using the safe.

It is very likely that Mr. A went in with his accomplice to open the vault associated with the accomplice, took the money from Mr. A’s vault, and moved 8.1 billion won to the vault associated with the accomplice.

In addition, it is believed that the 4 billion won found somewhere was brought out by Mr. A, who entered the safe with another employee and followed the procedure.

The police found this money in the safe and somewhere.

The casino side has never lost money and has a different opinion from the police, saying that it is impossible to confirm related details.

[앵커]

How is the police investigation going?

[기자]

The police are focusing on finding the money that has disappeared.

We are checking if the money worth 13 billion won already found is related to the lost money.

We are also investigating whether 14.5 billion won really existed.

In addition, we are chasing one of our 30s accomplices who are found to be in Korea.

The investigation is expanding, including whether there are more accomplices.
