Prison term of 12 years sought against former MUFG Bank employee for theft crime
In a shocking turn of events, Yukari Yamazaki, a 47-year-old former employee of MUFG Bank, has pleaded guilty to stealing cash and gold from customers' safe deposit boxes. The ruling in her case will be handed down on Oct. 6.
Yamazaki's actions have betrayed the trust of both employees and customers at MUFG Bank. Prosecutors claim that she has caused approximately 1.4 billion yen in financial damage to 70 customers since 2020.
To avoid detection, Yamazaki attempted to steal outside business hours and turned off her personal computer to avoid leaving a record of the safe deposit box activity. Her crimes were committed to make up for losses in foreign exchange margin trading and horse race betting.
Interestingly, currently, no publicly known person is charged by the Japanese judiciary for theft of gold and cash from customer safety deposit boxes at MUFG Bank. This case highlights the importance of bank employees upholding the trust placed in them and adhering to the law.
As Yamazaki awaits her sentence, the incident serves as a reminder for banks and their employees to maintain the highest level of integrity and transparency in their dealings with customers. The case also underscores the need for robust security measures to protect customers' assets and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
