Mr. A, a former civic group activist, took office as executive director of the Korea International Cooperation Agency and KOICA in February 2018.

At the time, he exercised full authority in personnel and contract work on behalf of the president, and it was revealed that he used it to obtain hundreds of millions of won in back money.

They received tens of millions of won in exchange for manipulating employees’ performance evaluations, promoting them, and assigning them to overseas offices of their choice.

I was also involved in the officer appointment process.

To select the university professor B who handed over the money as a manager of KOICA, he appointed his acquaintances as judges and gave them full marks.

Additionally, a senior from the college was appointed as the managing director of the branch, and internal business information was also provided to the outside company that delivered the cash.

Thus, the money Mr. A alone received from 22 managers and employees amounted to 400 million won.

After identifying the facts, the Audit and Control College asked the prosecution to investigate Mr. A and 15 managers and employees on bribery charges.

KOICA said in its audit at the time that managers and employees did not pay bribes but borrowed money and that it concluded the audit by suing Mr A for fraud, who could not pay the actual debt.

However, he added that he regretted that he could not disclose the request for staff appointments.

The Board of Auditors and Inspections will continue to check whether there have been any problems with Mr. A.’s self-control.
