Police Offer Up to 500 Million Won for Reporting Voice Phishing and Drug Crime Organizations

The National Office of Investigation at the Korean National Police Agency announced on the 22nd that it has established a new system that offers rewards of up to 500 million won for information leading to the arrest of organized crime groups involved in offenses such as voice phishing and drug-related crimes.

This measure aims to provide appropriate compensation for actions taken in the public interest to combat crimes that undermine the daily lives of citizens.

Park Sungju, Commissioner of the National Office of Investigation, stated, "There are limits to eradicating increasingly organized, non-face-to-face, and transnational crimes through police efforts alone," and added, "With the introduction of the special reward system for arrests, we expect more active reports and tips from the public."
