Seoul Police Replaces Gangnam Investigation Chiefs Amid Case-Coverup Allegations

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on May 12 abruptly replaced chief-level personnel in the investigation and detective divisions of Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station as part of a regular superintendent-level reshuffle. The move came after allegations that money had been accepted to suppress an investigation into a fraud case involving a well-known influencer. According to the original report, all chief-level officials in Gangnam Police Station’s investigation division were replaced, and the agency announced the regular personnel changes that day. The core issue is whether bribery and interference occurred during the handling of the case. The leadership changes are expected to draw attention to the police response and any follow-up review.
