Suspicion of Collusion with Service Contractors
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Requests Investigation by Prosecutors
Prosecutors have conducted a search and seizure operation at the Jincheon National Training Center for National Athletes in connection with allegations of corruption in the sports sector.
The Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Lee Sang-hyuk) sent prosecutors and investigators to the Jincheon Training Center in Chungbuk on the morning of the 28th to seize related materials.
Earlier, the Korea Sports Council signed a service contract worth 7 billion KRW with a company in February last year for the management of the training center facilities.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requested an investigation by the prosecution in May, suspecting collusion between the company and senior officials of the Korea Sports Council regarding the contract.
