The police have launched an investigation into allegations that an officer from the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency maintained illicit ties with entertainment establishments.

The Busan Geumjeong Police Station announced that it executed a search and seizure warrant yesterday (June 23) for a police inspector, identified as A, who is assigned to the Crime Prevention and Order Division of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency.

It has been confirmed that while investigating a separate case, the police uncovered circumstances suggesting that Inspector A had been colluding with entertainment businesses, including leaking information about upcoming crackdowns.
