In brief

• Two South Korean police officers were indicted for allegedly taking bribes from operators of illegal crypto exchanges tied to a $186 million voice-phishing laundering operation.
• Prosecutors say the officers provided investigative information, helped unfreeze accounts, and facilitated legal and law-enforcement contacts in exchange for payments.
• Authorities froze about $1.1 million in assets as part of a broader probe that uncovered a coordinated network converting criminal proceeds into USDT through cash-for-crypto shops.
