MUFG Bank fires worker for stealing over ¥1 bil from customers

That's it?

How about Police criminal charges??

As always, Kyodo articles are like ChatGPT made tweets, a lot of writing and very little, to none, information.

No police investigation a month after the bank found out?

Yusei Kajiwara is alleged to have stolen some 18 million yen in cash from an elderly couple after rendering the woman unconscious with a sleeping drug and then setting their house on fire on July 28, according to the indictment. The couple, who were Nomura customers, escaped unscathed, investigative sources said

And is this the suspect in the bank heist too? Otherwise why add this at the end?

some 60 customers in Tokyo, the Japanese megabank said.

Wait security cameras that cover all angles doesn't exist? Log book? Also two-person (or more) rule for employee when entering those deposits, getting the keys and opening the door to deposits?

Incredible oversight by the bank where an employee could single-handedly get into customers' safety deposit boxes, made greatly more surprising by the fact that he could get away with it for so long. That bank's policies and procedures need to be audited asap.

stealing assets worth between 1 billion and 2 billion yen from safe deposit boxes

Now, THAT is a big discrepancy!

wow, shocking in N. America there are 2 keys given for a safety deposit box to the customer and the staff have no access to the lock box.

Why hasn’t he been arrested?

Why isn't this jerk in the slammer right now?

Banks do not like to prosecute because then it becomes very public.

More to come for sure, Japan is so laxed when it comes to dealing with Pro thieves and the police is not doing enough educating the general public.

The Internet is recruiting and also educating home grown thieves on how to carry out quick thefts from stores, homes, and businesses and in most case they get away with it.

buckle your seat belts as it is going to get much worse.

I guess he got carried away and didn't know when to stop.

"The former employee was responsible for managing the safe deposit boxes and took advantage of this position to open customers' safes without permission and steal their assets," MUFG Bank said in a statement.

'The best way to rob a bank is to own one'.

Not sure if it is 1.1 billion or 1.9 nillion...

Lax everywhere all the time.

It is not a bank, it is a joke.

¥1.1 billion, about $6.5 million. Major banks like Goldsmiths have lost much bigger figures.

this is hard to believe. bankers are such honest honest people.

That common in America,bank employees have access to people money and accounts,I have some friends that are tellers,they are supervise ,my friend is a assistant bank manager,they usually leave their tellers unsupervised in the morning when

An unsupervised when they leave at night

That is not true, if you keep yourself on your toes and watch your banking information at least in Canada the banks are usually accommodating and especially with their checks and balances in place.
