Police investigate 20 Coupang-related cases
SEOUL, Jan. 5 (Yonhap) -- Police, who formed a comprehensive task force (TF) last week to investigate various suspicions surrounding Coupang Inc., are now looking into 20 complaints and accusations involving the e-commerce giant, a ranking police official said Monday.
"First of all, 18 cases are under investigation, including one filed by Coupang, and seven complaints and accusations against Coupang and its executives," the official said in a meeting with reporters.
They include one case filed by Coupang against a suspect who leaked its customer information, seven cases filed against Coupang and its executives over data breach, three cases related to workers' deaths presumed to be caused by overwork, and five cases related to the alleged creation of a blacklist of individuals deemed persona non grata.
In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is investigating two cases of suspected secondary damage related to Coupang. The agency launched the 86-member TF last Thursday to intensively investigate all Coupang-related allegations.
It has been reported that the police have begun analyzing Coupang's internal data presented by a whistleblower.
