Police Conduct Additional Raid on Gyeryong City Hall Over Alleged Supply Bid Rigging

Police investigating allegations of supply-related corruption involving an official at Gyeryong City Hall have conducted an additional raid on the municipal office, following a previous search last month.

On October 20, starting at 10 a.m., police deployed 12 investigators to search two offices at Gyeryong City Hall—the Autonomous Administration Division and the Accounting Division—securing relevant materials.

The official under investigation and related company representatives are suspected of exchanging money and valuables in return for supply contracts and leaking internal information.

Police are investigating the individuals involved on charges of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes and official secret disclosure, and plan to analyze the secured materials to verify the specific details.

Previously, police also raided two locations, including Gyeryong City Hall, in connection with this case on September 1.
