Scheduled to Return in the Morning of July 10

Acting Commissioner of the Korean National Police Agency Yoo Jaesung, who is currently on a business trip to the United States to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS), will return to Korea earlier than planned in consideration of the public concerns surrounding the 'Jang Yunki case'.

The National Police Agency announced on July 8 that Acting Commissioner Yoo has decided to adjust his official overseas business trip, originally scheduled through July 11, and will return to Korea in the morning of July 10.

This measure was taken in light of growing suspicions of collusion between Inspector Jang, the father of 'the Gwangju high school girl murder suspect' Jang Yunki and an active-duty police officer in the Gwangju area, and the local investigation team.

Acting Commissioner Yoo had departed for the United States on July 5 to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit and other official engagements.
