The Ministry of Justice on April 2 announced the expansion of interpretation service for foreign victims of crime in the country.
The Immigration Contact Center (1345) in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do Province, a multilingual information platform that provides free assistance in civil affairs and three-way interpretation for public agencies, has expanded its interpretation service in collaboration with the Supreme Prosecutors' Office (SPO).
The service now allows foreign victims of crime to more easily contact law enforcement authorities like the National Police Agency or the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office. Such victims can also gain more convenient access to support for medical and living expenses from the SPO.
