[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jucheol In] The Gyeongnam Police will launch a special crackdown to prevent the leakage of industrial technology.

On the 21st, the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency announced that it will conduct a special crackdown on industrial technology leakage to protect domestic industries.

This crackdown targets all industrial technology leakage cases within the province and will continue until October 31 of this year. Last year, the Gyeongnam Police arrested a total of 10 suspects involved in industrial technology leakage, including 2 cases of overseas industrial technology leakage, totaling 17 individuals.

For example, a business division manager of a company who diverted military ship-related technical data developed by a shipyard in Gyeongnam and used it at a foreign shipyard was arrested on charges of violating the Act on the Prevention of Unfair Competition and Protection of Trade Secrets.

Also, a managing director of a company who obtained parts manufacturing drawings and leaked them to overseas clients was arrested on the same charges.

A police official said, “This special crackdown was promoted to prevent the overseas leakage of key domestic industrial technology personnel and to protect domestic industries,” adding, “We will do our best to prevent the outflow of national wealth and secure national competitiveness.”
