Gov't allocates $4.8 mil. to replace prosecution logos, signs

The Korean government has allocated 6.5 billion won ($4.8 million) to replace logos, signs, and branding on the exteriors and windows of 67 prosecution offices across the country. This budget will cover the removal of existing Prosecution Service emblems and related signage, as the new Public Prosecution Service is set to launch next month.
