Harold Rogers Summoned for Direct Police Interview Seoul police have issued a summons for Harold Rogers, the interim chief executive of Coupang Corp., to appear for questioning as the investigation moves from evidence collection to senior‑level interrogation [1][2]. A special task force within the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is coordinating the appearance date, reflecting the probe’s escalation [1][2]. The summons follows earlier police efforts that began earlier this month to centralize multiple allegations against the e‑commerce giant [1][2].

Task Force Broadens Investigation to Accident Cover‑Up and Log Deletion investigators are probing an alleged cover‑up of an industrial accident alongside claims that Coupang deleted website access logs, potentially obstructing oversight [1][2]. These lines of inquiry are linked to the recent large‑scale data breach that exposed personal information of millions of users [1][2]. Authorities aim to determine whether corporate actions impeded accountability or destroyed digital evidence [1][2].

Parliamentary Complaint Targets Seven Coupang Officials On December 31, the National Assembly’s Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee filed a formal complaint against seven Coupang executives, including Rogers, alleging violations of testimony and appraisal statutes before parliament [1][2]. The parliamentary action intensifies political pressure and provides a legal basis for further scrutiny of the company’s conduct [1][2]. This move complements the police investigation and signals multi‑track oversight of the firm.

Labor Groups Accuse Founder and CEO of Evidence Tampering Labor and civic organizations lodged separate police complaints accusing founder Kim Bom‑suk and interim CEO Rogers of tampering with evidence and breaching the Industrial Safety and Health Act [1][2]. These civil‑society filings add public‑interest pressure and expand potential criminal exposure beyond regulatory and parliamentary channels [1][2]. The complaints underscore concerns over workplace safety and corporate transparency amid the broader probe.
