"Request for Investigation Upon Confirmation of Violations"
[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum instructed on the 18th, "Conduct a strict investigation centered on the Government Coordination Office's Sejong Special Self-Governing City Support Team and the Public Service Management Office, and if any illegal activities of the Korea Customs Service Valuation and Classification Center (KCSVCC) are confirmed, take necessary measures such as requesting an investigation."
Prime Minister Kim also said, "Conduct a legal review regarding the confirmation of illegalities and the possibility of cancellation concerning the special apartment supply."
It was revealed that although the KCSVCC was not subject to relocation to Sejong City, it spent 17.1 billion won in taxes to build a new office building in Sejong City and forcibly attempted the relocation, which was ultimately canceled. During this process, suspicions were raised that 49 affiliated employees received apartments through the 'special supply for public officials (teukgong)' and gained profits from price differences.
