[Gyeonggi] Gyeonggi-do Province cracked down on illegal distribution of local currency, including the use of entertainment establishments.

Gyeonggi Province will crack down on the government until the 20th of next month to block the illegal distribution of local currency, such as the use of entertainment establishments, and to establish the right culture of use.

Based on more than 9,000 suspected cases of abnormal transaction detection systems and complaints through the fraudulent distribution reporting center, the province plans to conduct phone calls and on-site inspections to check for fraudulent distribution.

The targets of the crackdown include receiving and taking local currency without selling goods or providing services to local currency merchants, receiving gift certificates through transactions above the actual sales amount, and using local currency in restricted industries such as entertainment establishments.

Refusing, obstructing, or avoiding the investigation may result in a fine of up to 5 million won, and those who do not register as a franchisee will be disposed of according to the degree of violation such as cancellation of franchise registration and administrative guidance.
