South Korea has allocated 6.5 billion won ($4.8 million) to remove Prosecution Service logos, names and signs from 67 offices nationwide before the launch of the Public Prosecution Service next month. The existing 78-year-old prosecution service will be abolished on Friday, transferring indictment functions to the new agency while police and the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency take responsibility for investigations. The budget covers exterior and window branding, interior signs and fixtures, identification materials, promotional items and updates to websites including the Korea Information System of Criminal Justice Services. The new agency plans to use the government’s taegeuk symbol temporarily. Further costs are expected for public infrastructure, including more than 1.24 billion won for Seoul Metro signage and announcements and about 62 million won to replace 75 Seoul road signs.
