Police Raid Defense Acquisition Program Administration... Seize Server Containing Bidding Data of Military Supply Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] It has been confirmed that the police conducted a search and seizure at the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA). The police are investigating allegations that documents containing military supply bid information from DAPA were leaked to private companies.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Intelligent Crime Investigation Unit sent investigators to DAPA, located in the government complex in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the 18th to inspect internal servers.

The police reportedly launched the search and seizure to secure electronic data detailing how materials containing military supply bid information from 2016 and 2017 were leaked to related companies.

Earlier, the police received intelligence that documents containing combat ration military supply bid information had been leaked externally and began an investigation earlier this year. They summoned related individuals to investigate the circumstances of the leak. Having prior knowledge of bid-related information can provide an advantage during the bidding process.
