Yun Tae-hyong, a senior official at Korea Daesong Bank, vanished last week in Nakhodka with $5m, claims newspaper
Yun Tae-hyong, a senior representative of Korea Daesong Bank, disappeared last week in Nakhodka, in eastern Russia, with $5m (£3m), JoongAng Ilbo reported.
The bank is suspected by the US government of being under the control of the North Korean government's Office 39, which is widely believed to finance illicit activities, including the procurement of luxury goods banned under UN sanctions. The bank was blacklisted by the US treasury department in 2010.
The newspaper said North Korea had asked the Russian authorities for cooperation in efforts to capture Yun.
It was not clear how Yun travelled to Russia or what he was doing before he defected. Russia and North Korea share a 10.5-mile (17km) border.
South Korea's unification ministry, which handles inter-Korean relations, told Reuters it had no knowledge of the matter.
Kim came to power in December 2011 when his father, Kim Jong-il, died of a heart attack, leaving him little time to consolidate his powerbase.
