Two officials from Jangseong County in Gwangju, South Korea, have been charged with accepting bribes from a contractor involved in a public works project.
According to the Gwangju Police Agency's Special Investigation Unit, the two team leaders allegedly received hundreds of thousands to millions of won in cash from a contractor while overseeing the modernization of the county's water supply system from late 2022 to last year.
Police are also investigating one supervisor from the project who is facing similar charges.
The misconduct of these officials was uncovered during an audit by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety last year.
Authorities are currently verifying the facts, and Jangseong County has decided to impose disciplinary measures based on the audit results.
