Active Police Officer Arrested for Leaking Personal Information in Exchange for Bribes

An active-duty police officer has been arrested for leaking personal information obtained through the police internal network to outsiders in exchange for money.

The Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency's metropolitan investigation unit announced today (the 15th) that it has arrested Police Inspector A, assigned to a local police station, on charges including violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.

Inspector A, in his 30s, is accused of handing over personal information acquired from the police internal network to an outsider last July and receiving money in return.

Police believe that Inspector A acted alone. After further investigating the exact circumstances of the personal information leak and the scale of the bribes received, the police plan to forward the case to the prosecution soon.
