Senior executives of Prudential Life Insurance apologized on January 23 after it was revealed that employees had fraudulently obtained a total of ¥3.1 billion JPY (around $20 million USD) from customers by pitching fictitious investment schemes and other scams.
The Japan unit of US-based Prudential Financial initially did not plan to hold a news conference when it released the investigation results on January 16. However, it decided to do so after calls mounted for greater accountability.
Prudential Life CEO and President Kan Mabara told a news conference in Tokyo, "We sincerely and deeply apologize for the discovery of serious and long-standing misconduct." He also announced that the company will establish an independent compensation committee to arrange refunds for affected customers.
