Notably, a civil servant working as a security officer at a regional court was among the 27 arrested sex trafficking suspects, the agency said. The court official is suspected of having run a prostitution establishment together with an acquaintance and at least two gangsters, and shared the profits after providing several tens of millions of won in initial funds.
The court official allegedly formed an alliance with other sex trafficking rings, shared police crackdown information and assaulted prostitutes in other areas, the agency said.
Police have seized million won in criminal proceeds from the court official and his business partners, and notified the concerned court of his alleged crimes. Police also said they have cracked down on three people on charges of operating prostitution advertisement sites and earning profits worth 1. Of the 30 sex trafficking suspects busted in the latest police crackdown, seven have been put under pretrial detention, the police agency said.
