At Daejeon Prison, the actual stock of 9 mm pistol rounds was found to be 100 rounds fewer than the quantity recorded in the ledger, and the Ministry of Justice is under investigation.
The Ministry of Justice said on the 13th that a comprehensive audit of Daejeon Prison conducted from the 8th to the 12th found this.
The Ministry of Justice formed an investigation team of about 10 members, led by the head of the security policy division at the Korea Correctional Service, and is conducting an investigation into Daejeon Prison.
An official at the Ministry of Justice said, "The investigation will focus on whether the ammunition was actually taken out, while keeping all possibilities open, including ledger errors and misentries."
The Ministry of Justice plans to conduct a full survey of correctional facilities nationwide to review the overall status of weapons and ammunition management and then prepare comprehensive measures.
