In a case where a former Mitsubishi UFJ Bank employee was arrested for stealing gold bars from a safe deposit box, it was revealed that the woman started using safe deposit boxes after suffering huge losses from FX investments and horse racing. The Metropolitan Police Department arrested suspect Yukari Imamura (46), who served as deputy branch manager of Mitsubishi UFJ Bank's Nerima and Tamagawa branches, on suspicion of theft. According to investigators, Imamura is suspected of stealing about 20 kilograms of gold bars, with a total market value of 260 million yen, from a safe deposit box used by two male customers in September last year, when she was working at the Nerima branch. According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Imamura said that she began stealing cash and other items from safe deposit boxes after suffering huge losses from FX investments and horse racing. It is believed that she lost at least 1 billion yen from FX trading. The Metropolitan Police Department estimates that the scale of the damage is more than 1 billion yen in cash, and the gold bars have a market value of more than 700 million yen. In response to an interview by TV Asahi, Mitsubishi UFJ commented, "We would like to once again sincerely apologize to our customers and other related parties for the inconvenience and concern caused. As always, the bank will fully cooperate with the police investigation."
