Taipei, May 6 (CNA) Lin, a vault manager at a well-known security company's Taoyuan branch, was arrested and referred for prosecution by the Criminal Investigation Bureau for embezzling approximately NT$60 million from the vault over nearly two years, driven by substantial gambling debts from sports betting.
According to sources, Lin, who had been with the security company for about 10 years and was responsible for vault management, allegedly incurred large gambling debts from sports betting. He exploited his position by reporting less cash received during currency exchange operations, pocketing hundreds of thousands to over a million NT dollars each time, and creating 'dual accounts' to deceive the company.
It wasn't until the security company recently noticed irregularities and initiated an investigation that Lin, fearing exposure, suddenly went absent without leave in early April and destroyed relevant evidence. The security company then urgently reported the matter to the police.
Upon receiving the report, the Criminal Investigation Bureau swiftly investigated and arrested the suspect Lin in Taoyuan in April. He was transferred to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office on suspicion of fraud, theft, and breach of trust for further investigation. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching)1150506
