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, answers questions from reporters in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho District, Seoul, about the launch of a joint investigation team into alleged drug smuggling involving Incheon Customs, in Seoul, South Korea, on June 12, 2025, at 10 a.m. 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.
