A former Seoul police chief appeared before the prosecution Tuesday to undergo questioning over alleged bribery involving a local businessman.

Goo Eun-soo, an ex-commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, is suspected of receiving tens of millions of won in kickbacks from the chairman of multi-level marketing company IDS Holdings in return for the promotion of a police official. Goo served as Seoul police chief from 2014-2015.

The IDS head was sentenced to 15 years in prison last month for fraud in connection with the pyramid scheme business. (Yonhap)
