Seoul prosecutors have launched an investigation into allegations that a senior police officer accepted bribes in connection with virtual asset-related cases.
On August 23rd, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office’s Virtual Asset Crime Joint Investigation Unit conducted a raid on the Gangnam Police Station, where the accused officer, identified as ‘A’, is currently stationed.
The investigation focuses on accusations that Officer A received money and goods in exchange for favors related to virtual asset cases while working at the Gangnam Police Station.
The fact that the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, which does not have jurisdiction over the Gangnam Police Station, directly conducted the search and seizure underscores the seriousness of the charges against Officer A.
