[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Min Gap-ryong, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, expressed his intention to focus law enforcement efforts on eradicating 'fraud crimes' in the new year. The aim is to prevent fraud crimes that damage the community and thereby enhance trust in our society.

At a press conference on the 13th, Commissioner Min responded to a question about the areas of focus for the new year. He stated, "Trust is based on not deceiving others with lies to cause harm." He added, "In the past, people might have said, 'Oh, that's just bad luck,' but such acts undermine the trust essential for the community's existence," expressing his determination to crack down on fraud crimes.

Commissioner Min emphasized, "In the second half of last year, we cracked down on the '3 No Frauds' affecting ordinary citizens: voice phishing, fraudulent fundraising and pyramid schemes, and internet fraud. Especially, methods using the internet have become more sophisticated, with diverse and cunning deceptions, so we will focus on strict enforcement."

Furthermore, Commissioner Min mentioned that crimes such as drug offenses and crimes against women, which have continuously drawn attention, will also be key targets for enforcement. He said, "Since a new Women's Safety Officer has been appointed, we will promote a more intensive and comprehensive, society-wide collaborative system to address crimes against women."
