Police Arrest 65 Involved in 'Paid Revenge' Services Over 10 Months

The police announced that they have apprehended 65 individuals involved in so-called "paid revenge" services, where perpetrators carry out acts of retaliation in exchange for money, and have detained 23 of them.

The police explained that since the first case of revenge-for-hire was reported in Daegu last August, 87 such incidents have been confirmed nationwide over the past 10 months. Authorities have successfully captured key figures, including fund managers and Telegram channel operators, and are continuing their investigation into other higher-ups and the clients who commissioned the acts.

"Paid revenge" is a criminal activity in which organized crime groups, after receiving payment from a client, carry out malicious acts of terror, such as spraying filth or graffiti on the victim's property.
