Police Investigate Huiwon Currency Exchange Operators and Staff, Tracing Source of Funds

[Financial News] The police are accelerating their investigation into crimes related to the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Park Seong-ju, head of the National Office of Investigation at the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA), stated at a regular briefing on the 24th, "We have questioned the former operators and staff of Huiwon Currency Exchange and are currently tracing the source of funds exchanged through related accounts."
Previously, the police launched an investigation into allegations that the Huione Group, known as a money laundering channel for crimes in the Kingdom of Cambodia, operated a currency exchange in Korea. In connection with this, a domestic virtual asset exchange, Upbit, was also raided to secure records of coin deposits and withdrawals to 'Huione Guarantee,' the group's virtual asset service platform.
Park explained, "We executed a warrant against Upbit to identify the personal information of Korean nationals who received Huione virtual assets. We are currently analyzing the seized materials, and if suspicions arise regarding exchanges other than Upbit, we will investigate those as well."
Regarding the cause of death of the university student who died in the Kingdom of Cambodia, the National Forensic Service (NFS) concluded through autopsy that the death resulted from traumatic shock and assault.
Park added, "We are continuing to investigate those involved in the crime locally in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Two suspects who arranged the victim's departure to Cambodia have been detained and referred for prosecution, and we are pursuing further investigation as additional suspects have been identified."
