More than two months have passed, but the escaped employee is still in broad daylight, and the missing taxman has not been found.

4.62 billion won.
This is the money embezzled by Choi, the head of the financial management office of the Health Insurance Corporation, for six months since last April.
When I confirmed the fact of embezzlement last September, I had already taken a vacation and was hiding in the Philippines.
All the money recovered was 700 million won and 3.9 billion won in national taxes evaporated.

It has already been more than two months since the employee who embezzled billions of won fled overseas. However, the whereabouts are still unknown and it has not yet been decided how to recover the money.
A rumor was also circulating within the company that employees were discussing how to offset the amount of the embezzlement.
However, rumors of dissatisfaction came out, saying that the person who stole the money and the person who returned it left, and it became nothing.
[국민건강보험공단 관계자(음성변조) : 지금 현재는 아무것도 나와 있는 사항은 없어요. 직원이 십시일반 모아서 어떻게 할 건지 그런 부분에 대해서는 아직 논의되고 있는 건 없어요.]
Ultimately, the situation is only looking at the police investigation.
Foreman Choi fled alone to the Philippines, leaving his family behind in Korea.
The police have invalidated Choi’s passport and are conducting an investigation in cooperation with Interpol.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare issued a warning to the Health Insurance Company and demanded severe punishments from three officers, including managers.
The Health Insurance Corporation has also established measures to prevent a recurrence, but the whereabouts of the missing employee cannot be found, and there is a stinging voice criticizing that the cow lost and repaired the cowshed.
