Justice Ministry Requests Investigation into Gwangju Immigration Office Official Over Suspected Collusion With Delivery Agency

The Ministry of Justice has requested a criminal investigation into an official at the Gwangju Immigration and Foreigner Office over allegations of collusion with a specific delivery service agency.

In a media briefing today (the 26th), the Ministry of Justice stated, "Through our inspection, we confirmed improper handling of duties by the official," adding, "We have requested an investigative agency to look into the official to clarify suspicions of criminal activity."

The official, identified as Mr. A, is suspected of exempting a specific local delivery agency from crackdowns in exchange for receiving information on illegal foreign delivery riders.

The Ministry of Justice launched an inspection into Mr. A early this month after the allegations surfaced.
