ChainCatcher 消息，韩国司法部和内政和安全部将于 5 月初开始讨论将虚拟资产犯罪联合调查组提升为官方部门。此次晋升的目的是巩固该部门的地位，因为该部门目前作为首尔南部地方检察官办公室的临时机构运作，可能会被解散。这一变化预计将通过任命新检察官和预算分配来提高效率。 该部门由来自七个金融和税务监管机构的约 30 名专家组成，于 2023 年 7 月成立，是韩国首个专注于数字资产犯罪的调查机构。

According to ChainCatcher, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior and Security of South Korea will begin discussions in early May to promote the Joint Investigation Team for Virtual Asset Crimes to an official department. The purpose of this promotion is to consolidate the position of the department, which currently operates as a temporary agency of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office and may be disbanded. This change is expected to improve efficiency through the appointment of new prosecutors and budget allocation. The department, which consists of about 30 experts from seven financial and tax regulatory agencies, was established in July 2023 and is South Korea's first investigation agency focused on digital asset crimes.
