▲ Kim Min-jae, Vice Minister of the Interior and Safety and head of the preparatory team for the launch of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, inspects the preparations at the agency's preparatory office located in the Changseong-dong annex of the Government Complex Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on May 30.
The preparatory team for the launch of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency (SCIA) under the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it has selected Rene Square in Jung-gu, Seoul, as the location for the agency's headquarters and its Seoul office.
The preparatory team explained that it determined an independent, standalone building was appropriate to align with the agency's founding purpose of separating investigation and prosecution functions.
To this end, the team conducted a comprehensive review of privately leased buildings, considering factors such as accessibility and security. Rene Square was ultimately selected following an analysis of site suitability, on-site inspections, and internal reviews.
With the reserve funds secured, the government plans to proceed with the construction of office spaces and the establishment of necessary facilities.
Furthermore, the preparatory team stated that it plans to finalize the locations for regional offices as soon as possible.
