What happens when a bank worker has stolen money from your account?
curious asked:
A Japanese friend of mine had his account frozen in Japan, because he was under investigation for fraud. He was clearly innocent and the judge cleared his case and he wasn’t charged. The bank refused to unfreeze his account, and his lawyer was planning to sue them. The lawyer hired a private investigater and they found that no money was left in the account. It has been 10 months now that all this bank and police mess has been going on. As this is a Japanese system and a Japanese citizen, I just don’t understand how the bank could withhold his account 5 months after the Judge cleared his case.

The first thing he will need is proof of the amount in the account before the account was frozen. Also remember that even though Japan is an industrialized country, many of its laws and system of justice is quite different than ours. I think the bottom line on this would be finding proof of who actually stole the money. If the thief was a low level bank employee, he would probably be prosecuted. However, if it was a high level bank employee, they probably covered their tracks well, and have connections to avoid prosecution. GOOD LUCK Phineas J. Whoopee
