The National Police Agency launches full investigation into Gwanpyeongwon special forces and ghost office suspicions... Reviewing related materials

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters has launched a full-scale investigation into the controversy surrounding the special apartment supply (special supply) for public officials in Sejong City, triggered by the "ghost building" of the Korea Customs Service's Customs Evaluation and Classification Institute (KCCE).

On the 11th, the National Investigation Headquarters stated, "We have received investigation-related materials from the Office of Public Service Management under the Prime Minister's Office," adding, "We will review the contents and assign the case to the relevant provincial police agency." They further added, "We will conduct a strict investigation into the related suspicions."

Earlier, the Office for Government Policy Coordination, under the direction of Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum, conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the KCCE building construction and the special supply, and forwarded the investigation results to the National Investigation Headquarters for prosecution.

The investigation by the Office for Government Policy Coordination revealed that from the preparation for the building construction to the special supply, the Korea Customs Service, the Administrative City Construction Agency, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance all failed to properly verify the relevant regulations.

The controversy over the special apartment supply in Sejong City originated from the KCCE's "ghost building." Despite not being a target for relocation to Sejong City, the building construction was forcibly carried out aiming for special supply, and employees allegedly received special allocations, gaining several hundred million won in market price differences.
