Police pursuing the whereabouts of 14.46 billion won, which were stored in the VIP safe of the landing casino at Jeju Shinhwa World and disappeared, are tracking two other accomplices who participated in the crime.
The Jeju Police Agency announced on the 14th that in the process of tracing the whereabouts of Malaysian money management officer A (55), the main suspect in the case, it is investigating a Chinese man in his 30s and another C in his 30s as accomplices.
According to the police, Mr. B is leaving the country, but Mr. C is staying in Korea and neither of them are employees of the landing casino.
Police found 8.15 billion won in the VIP safe inside the landing casino, which may be part of the 14.46 billion won that disappeared earlier this month.
Along with this, the police found more than 4 billion won in cash elsewhere in Jeju City where Mr. A stayed, and are confirming whether the safe and the 12 billion won of money found in these places were part of the lost money.
A police officer said, “All the money I found was wrapped in a new 50,000 won card,” he said. “Along with this, we are investigating the possibility of another accomplice other than these three.”
According to a police investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A took the money from the safe following an established procedure.
The VIP vault, where 14.5 billion won was stored, was in the name of Mr. A. Mr. A is reported to have held funds from Landing International, Hong Kong, the parent company of Ramjeong Entertainment, which operates a Landing casino, in a safe in your name.
In accordance with the safe management rules, Mr. A accompanied the clerk who had the keys to the casino and took the money out of the safe.
Furthermore, the police believe that 81.60 billion won, which is estimated to be part of the lost money, was transferred to a safe in the name of a VIP client other than Mr. A according to the procedure.
Mr. A took the money that he had kept in his safe, gave it to Mr. B and Mr. C, and put it in the VIP safe inside the landing casino that Messrs. B and C. managed.
However, he said that he could not confirm whether Mr. B and Mr. C were the owners of the VIP vault where the money was stored, or if they were the simple administrators of the VIP vault.
Earlier on the 4th, Ramjeong Entertainment confirmed that Hanwha’s 14.56 billion won of cash stored in the casino had disappeared and sued the police for embezzlement of funds from Mr. A.
Mr. A has not been contacted since he left last year’s vacation at the end of the year, so the police believe that Mr. A left the country.
On the 5th, Landing International announced in the internal information of the website: “On January 4, it was discovered that 14.5 billion won of funds were lost and we are looking for an employee in charge of financing, but we are unable to contact you.” .
Ramjeong Entertainment explained that the missing money was not a landing casino operating fund, but an international landing fund, which was the headquarters, and did not have a significant impact on the operation of the casino immediately, but did not reveal the exact source of the background.
