The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) announced plans to intensify efforts against organized crime and international offenses, particularly targeting young gangsters engaged in fraud and money laundering. The crackdown will commence on Monday and continue until October 31. The focus will be on high-yield financial crimes, including organized fraud, illegal private lending, online gambling, and money laundering.
The KNPA also intends to curb criminals displaying their illicit wealth online to instill public fear, and to freeze criminal proceeds to disrupt funding sources.
On the international front, the KNPA aims to target drug trafficking, specifically synthetic drugs like ketamine, and organized crimes involving foreign nationals. To achieve this, the agency plans to strengthen intelligence gathering around foreigner communities, their workplaces, and nightlife districts. This move follows a significant rise in organized crime and international offenses during the first half of the year.
