South Korea’s Jeonju District Prosecutors’ Office carries out a search and seizure at Kunsan (Gunsan) Air Base in North Jeolla Province and at a local employee’s home, as part of an investigation into alleged fraud. Prosecutors conduct the action on Thursday at the western coastal city of Gunsan and in connection with allegations involving a Korean national who works at the base. The employee is accused of purchasing materials used for air base maintenance from an electronics materials supplier at prices above market value during the period from 2021 to 2023, and of pocketing part of the difference. Prosecutors estimate the alleged unfair profits at about 240 million won (around $157,000), based on the suspected overpricing and the portion reportedly taken. A prosecution official says investigators are also collecting evidence tied to suspicions that a contract supervisor may have corruptly accepted benefits. The official declines to provide further details about the scope of the investigation or potential additional suspects, describing the case as ongoing.
