The South Korean prosecution service has officially launched a specialized crypto crime investigation unit to fight crypto scams and coin fraud.
The body is named the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office-run Joint Investigation Unit (JIU) for Virtual Asset Crimes.
The unit has been operating since 2023. But it was originally intended to function as a temporary task force.
It was formed to fight what officials thought would be a short-lived spike in high-profile crypto-related fraud cases.
