It sells until the end of the SBS exploration report and reports on corruption of some KCS employees. Today (22nd), let's look into why customs officials were not punished for all kinds of corruption. In the case of smuggling and censorship, the Korea Customs Service has the right to compulsory investigation.

Reporter Kang Cheong-wan reports on how it has been handled.

In September 2015, an organization was found by police that smuggled 200 billion won worth of fake luxury goods.

Although large in size, incumbent customs officials were found to have been involved in the incident, and this was a big deal.

[Customer officials arrested all of China's largest counterfeit luxury import, distribution and sales organizations in the past. .]

SNS chat room, which was shared with customs officers at the time, this incident comes up as a conversation topic.

Post a link to that article,

[Kim: I think we only found that because it's a cop.]

In the chat room, the names of employees other than the sixth-level employees who are assigned to the police are mentioned.

The clerk-level official who participated in the chat room sometimes asked how it was caught.

Confidence of those who seem to mock the investigation agency, where does it come from?

Above all, they have the right to investigate smuggling and tuberculosis.

[Former Customs Officer: The smuggling case must be done by the judiciary police. From the Customs Service. (Even if it's a smuggling case involving an employee?) Yes. Smuggling is not fair because our employees do it.]

If it's a serious crime, then if the smuggling is over $ 20 million or if the embezzlement is over $ 2 million, it must be complained, but this provision is ineffective.

This is because the customs officer may not judge that there is no need to complain in consideration of sinfulness and circumstances.

[Other Former Customs Officer: If you are a customs officer, how can you get stronger if you are a senior? I'm going to make it rough.]

Look at how much investigation is possible.

[Yun Soon-cheol / Secretary General, Gyeong-Syun Ryun (Participation in Customs Administration Innovation TF) , This part is not eradicated.]

In fact, the Korea Customs Service did not even request an investigation into three customs officers who concealed the import of luxury clothing in the Hanjin family smuggling case last year or provided convenience for customs off work.

Self discipline is also lax.

To the end, the team analyzed the Customs' disciplinary records for the past five years and found that more than half were punishable by reprimands and warnings.

There are even cases where people are killed in traffic accidents or reprimanded even if they receive bribes from contractors.

Self-control devices inside the Customs Service also did not work properly.

[Other Former Customs Officer: Integrity checks are all done on their own. Where do you want to go? You're doing a little bad, right? I call it right away. To call. Go and ask, 'Why did you do this? Do it again. 'You have to do it again.]

KCS made their own world and became insensitive to wrong practices.

It's hard to fix corruption in myself.
