'Geumpum Susu' Choi Young-hwan, Former Gwangju City Council Member, Issued Interpol Red Notice
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Interpol has issued a red notice for former Gwangju City Council member Choi Young-hwan, who fled overseas after accepting bribes.
On the 1st, the Gwangju Western Police Station announced that it had taken measures such as invalidating Choi's passport and issuing an Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) red notice.
The red notice is one of the eight types of notices issued by Interpol and targets suspects of serious crimes for whom arrest warrants have been issued.
When a red notice is issued, the suspect's personal information, criminal charges, fingerprints, DNA, and other data are shared with law enforcement agencies of Interpol member countries and registered at airports and ports worldwide.
Choi is accused of receiving tens of millions of won in bribes along with a request to help a specific private kindergarten be selected for a project to convert private kindergartens into public ones (purchase-type kindergarten) during his tenure as a city council member.
