Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office plans to purchase computer software to assist its investigations. This is just after South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service revealed that five large commercial banks were implicated in the money laundering case.
The KMIB report states that in addition to money laundering charges, South Korean financial authorities believe there is also a tax evasion angle. Therefore, the country’s tax authority was enlisted.
