Police have arrested a current police officer suspected of leaking information about the investigation into the late actor Lee Sun Kyun (48), who took his own life while being investigated for drug use. certain
It has been certified. According to South Korean investigative authorities on the 21st, the anti-corruption and economic crimes investigation team of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency made an emergency arrest on the morning of the same day to an executive-level police officer belonging to the Incheon Police Agency.
I caught it. Police Officer A is suspected of leaking a report containing the investigation status of Lee's drug case to an outside party. Police officer A is a person who works in a separate department unrelated to the drug crime investigation section.
It is said that In addition to arresting Officer A, the police conducted a second raid on the Incheon Police Agency, including the office of Officer A's department.
Prior to this, on January 22nd this year, the police compared information about Lee's investigation with multiple offices of the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department of the Incheon Police Agency.
The houses of media outlets that reported the incident in detail are being searched. The police plan to transfer Officer A to the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency, investigate the overall circumstances surrounding the leak of the investigation information, and begin an analysis of the seized items.
A police official said, ``I can't say anything because the matter is under investigation.'' The Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the leak of investigation information from the Incheon Police Agency on January 15th this year.
I received a request. Due to concerns that it would be difficult to ensure fairness if the Incheon Police Agency were to investigate directly, the neighboring Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency was placed in charge of the investigation.
Meanwhile, Lee's suspicion of drug use first became known through media reports on October 19 last year.
Prior to this, on October 14th, Lee was charged with criminal investigation as a suspect, and was summoned and investigated by the police three times in about two months.
Lee was found dead near a park in Jongno-gu, Seoul on December 27 last year, four days after receiving his third summons.
Before Mr. Lee's death, he requested that the police investigation be conducted privately, but the request was not accepted and he went to the photo line.
The revelation of this incident caused controversy, and since then, there have been calls for an investigation into the truth behind the leak of the investigation information surrounding this incident, especially in the culture and art world.
