The Korean National Police Agency is preparing to launch a national crackdown on organized crime and international offenses beginning Monday. The week-long operation, set to run through October 31st, will target young gangsters engaged in fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes. The focus will be on high-yield offenses, such as organized fraud, illegal private lending, online gambling operations, and money laundering.
Additionally, the police plan to crack down on criminals who flaunt their illicit wealth online to create public fear, and will look to freeze criminal proceeds to cut off funding sources.
Internationally, the KNPA will target drug trafficking, with a particular emphasis on synthetic drugs like ketamine. They also plan to intensify intelligence gathering around foreigner communities, workplaces, and nightlife districts. This crackdown follows a significant increase in organized crime and international offenses during the first half of the year.
