The North Jeolla Provincial Police Agency's Anti-Corruption Economic Crimes Investigation Team announced on the 6th that it had arrested and sent A to prosecutors on suspicion of bribery and destruction of evidence.
A is suspected of receiving money and valuables in return for funneling work to a specific company during the signboard maintenance project conducted in Iksan since 2020.
A was caught and arrested on the scene while trying to transfer cash worth tens of millions of won and local love gift certificates that were in his car during a police search on the 28th of last month, using a subordinate, B.
The police have detained A on charges of bribery. They have conducted searches on four companies suspected of having provided money to A and are continuing investigations into B, an accomplice in the destruction of evidence, and Deputy Director C from the former contract management department.
