Dobong Police Chief Arrested on Bribery Charges for Quashing Investigation... National Police Agency Suspends from Duty
The chief of the Dobong Police Station in Seoul has been arrested on charges of accepting bribes from a cryptocurrency trader in exchange for quashing an investigation. The National Police Agency suspended the chief from duty just one day after his arrest.
According to the National Police Agency on November 14, Superintendent A, who was serving as the chief of Dobong Police Station in Seoul, has been suspended from duty. The Dobong Police Station has now switched to an acting chief system.
On the previous day, Lee Chaung, the presiding judge in charge of warrants at Suwon District Court, conducted a pretrial detention hearing for Superintendent A, who is accused of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes (bribery). The judge issued an arrest warrant, citing "concerns about destruction of evidence."
