Jeonnam Police Enter Enforcement System for the 22nd National Assembly Election
Strict Crackdown on Five Major Election Crimes and Others
The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 11th that it will form a 'Special Investigation Team for Election Offenses' starting from the 12th to launch a full-scale crackdown system on election offenses ahead of the 22nd National Assembly election scheduled for April 10 next year.
The Special Investigation Team for Election Offenses is composed of 206 investigators from the Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency and 22 police stations within the jurisdiction.
They plan to strengthen intelligence gathering on various illegal activities related to the election and establish a close cooperative system with related agencies such as the Election Commission and the Prosecutor's Office to strictly and fairly enforce the relevant laws.
In particular, they will focus on cracking down on five major election crimes that seriously undermine election fairness: ▲ bribery ▲ dissemination of false information ▲ public officials' involvement in elections ▲ election violence ▲ illegal mobilization of organizations.
For these crimes, the 'zero tolerance principle' will be applied, prosecuting offenders regardless of their party affiliation or status, and thoroughly investigating not only the perpetrators but also those who planned or ordered the crimes and the sources of illegal funds.
Additionally, they will fully mobilize the investigative capabilities of the Jeonnam police to respond without gaps to cyberterrorism crimes that weaken the foundation of fair elections, such as spreading false information through social networking services (SNS), hacking of the Election Commission and political party websites, and DDoS attacks.
