A senior superintendent from the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency, widely known as the "King of Geoje" after working in the Geoje region for a long time and facing allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse of power in personnel affairs, and workplace bullying, appeared before the National Police Agency this afternoon to undergo questioning.

This marks the first face-to-face interrogation conducted roughly 40 days after the police launched a high-intensity internal inspection targeting Senior Superintendent A in late June.

The inspection team at the National Police Agency has been verifying the facts surrounding various allegations by interviewing staff members who previously worked alongside Senior Superintendent A.

The subjects of the inspection include not only suspicions of sexual misconduct against female subordinates, but also allegations of wrongfully interfering with personnel assignments for himself or those close to him, as well as accusations of workplace bullying toward subordinate officers.
