Former union official arrested for taking money for his child's employment bait

The Ulsan National Police Agency arrested a former union official in his 60s for stealing hundreds of millions of won from acquaintances by baiting employment.

Mr. A is accused of taking 500 million won from March 2017 to January this year by deceiving his acquaintances, including colleagues, that he would let his child get a full-time job at the company.

Mr. A has served as a delegate to a large company's labor union several times and received money, saying union executives and personnel department employees know.

The police explained that there was no case of A throwing away the money he received with stock investments and leading to actual employment.

In addition, former union B received 2.3 billion won from 30 people, but when the police investigation began, he made an extreme choice and ended with no right to prosecute.

Yoon Jong-do, head of the anti-corruption investigation at the Ulsan National Police Agency, said, "There are still many cases of deceiving people around you as if you can join a large company with the recommendation of acquaintances or union officials," and asked citizens to be careful not to suffer similar damage.
