Police in South Korea have launched a hunt for a Malaysian employee after a huge sum of cash mysteriously disappeared from a Hong Kong-backed casino in the southern resort island of Jeju.
Jeju Shinhwa World, one of South Korea’s largest integrated resorts, last week filed a police report saying that 14.56 billion won (S$17.6 million), all in South Korean banknotes, had gone missing from Landing Casino at its compound, according to a Yonhap news agency report.
Landing International Development Ltd, the Hong Kong -based owner and operator of Jeju Shinhwa World, this week disclosed the cash disappearance from Landing Casino on its website.
