Exclusive Foreign currency disappears at Incheon Airport Lost and Found...poor management

It has been confirmed that the management office managed the lost foreign currency differently from the principle, as the foreign currency lost by the tourists disappeared from the Incheon International Airport Lost and Found Office.

The Incheon International Airport Police said on the 23rd of last month that it received a complaint against employee A in his 30s from the subsidiary of Incheong Airport Corporation, which operates the lost and found office.

The company reportedly issued a standby order and filed a complaint with the police, believing that A had siphoned off 6 million won worth of dollars and yuan lost by a Chinese tourist, but A is said to deny the charges.

However, according to the YTN report, unlike the regulation that requires the loss of cash to be stored for a month and handed over to the police, foreign currency was treated as handed over to the police and actually stored in the management office's safe.

It seems to be for the convenience of the return process, and the Incheon International Airport subsidiary is conducting an internal audit, including a full investigation of the received lost items, to see if there are similar cases of failure to follow the business procedure.
