Governor Lee made this statement on October 21 during a National Assembly Political Affairs Committee audit held in Yeouido, Seoul, in response to a question from Kim Jaeseop, a lawmaker from the People Power Party, regarding countermeasures against voice phishing crimes.
He explained, "We are making comprehensive efforts to significantly strengthen our response to financial crimes affecting people's livelihoods in this organizational restructuring."
He added, "As part of these efforts, we plan to consult with the Financial Services Commission to create a special judicial police unit dedicated to financial crimes affecting people's livelihoods, and to improve the system to enable large-scale, direct investigations and enforcement."
Currently, the Financial Supervisory Service's special judicial police work is limited to investigating unfair trading in the capital markets. However, it is expected that the agency will move forward with establishing a dedicated special judicial police unit for financial crimes affecting people's livelihoods.
