A former police chief was summoned by the prosecution on Monday for questioning over allegedly accepting bribes.
Cho Hyun-oh, the ex-commissioner of the National Police Agency, is suspected of receiving 50 million won ($43,000) from an owner of a local construction firm, only identified by his surname Chung, between 2010 and 2011.
Cho has denied the allegations.
“While I met the owner a couple of times, I have never received money from anybody,” Cho told reporters before entering the Busan District Public Prosecutor’s Office. (Yonhap)
