Former Police Chief Addresses Joint Probe Into Incheon Customs Drug Smuggling Allegations
Baek Hae-ryong, former chief superintendent of the Criminal Division at Yeongdeungpo Police Station, looks toward the Supreme Prosecutors' Office before delivering a statement on the launch of a joint investigation team into alleged drug smuggling involving Incheon Customs, in Seocho District, Seoul, on June 12, 2025, at 10 a.m., South Korea. In 2023, Baek, while investigating drug smugglers in Malaysia, reportedly uncovers evidence implicating an official at Incheon Customs in drug trafficking. He later alleges that senior officials from the Presidential Office under the Yoon Suk Yeol administration, along with high-ranking police and customs authorities, attempt to cover up the case.
