법원행정처, 260억 예산 들여 컴퓨터 사놓고 창고에 6천대 쌓아놔

The Supreme Court's Office had spent 260 billion won on computer equipment without proper demand review, only to store 6,000 units in a warehouse instead of using them immediately. According to the Office's regular audit results released on the 31st, the Office purchased more than the estimated demand for computers, printers, and scanners between 2022 and 2025.

The Office had purchased 2,4664 units, which was 1,2401 units more than the 1,2663 units that needed to be replaced. This cost amounted to 260 billion 4000 won. The unutilized new computers amounted to 6131 units, which were stored in a warehouse. The Auditor General criticized the Office for not having a criteria for inventory and unclear purchase justification in the purchase plan.

In the Water Country District Court and Seongnam District Court, the Office had already provided 111 printers as reserve items, while the Office had provided an additional 151 printers last year. The Office's improper execution of operational expenses was also revealed. The Auditor General criticized the Office for purchasing 1.89 million won worth of wine during 2022-2025 without proper proof of payment.

The purchase did not include clear details of the purpose, target, time, and location. The cost expenditure for the purchase of wine after 11 pm, on weekends, and public holidays amounted to 99.5 million won, including about 16.25 million won spent at bars. However, the Office did not follow the proper procedure in these cases. The Office did not submit the required information, such as the department and name of the recipient, when spending more than 50,000 won on operational expenses.

Out of the 69 instances where the Office purchased wine worth more than 50,000 won during the past four years, 57 instances (equivalent to 1.468 million won) did not have proof of payment submitted.
