Kim Tong Il remains at Office 39 in a management capacity.Jon may not be in his current position for too long, Gause told “At some point, it’s expected that somebody will be brought in who’s fairly close to Kim Jong Un,” he said, “maybe Kim Jong Chul, who will take over the apparatus since he seems to be relying heavily on the Kim family directly, compared to cohorts who have been close to the Kim family”.Office 39 sits at the top of a complex pyramid of international trading conglomerates, which serve a crucial role in organizing and legitimizing Office 39’s international activity, whose ambiguous titles often mean the foreigners they do business with have no idea they are working with the DPRK government.The bureau places significant pressure on international diplomats to raise the appropriate “loyalty funds” each year, which are transferred back to Pyongyang, particularly around the time of Kim Jong Un’s birthday.The most prominent and largest of these conglomerates, appearing on almost every Office 39 apparatchik’s CV, is the Daesong Economic Group, which Madden estimates has “thousands of employees and at least 18 branch offices located in foreign countries”.While Daesong does not have any official link to the North Korean diplomatic service, he said, there have been “many instances during the last 25 years where Daesong staff met with or worked with DPRK diplomats,” Madden says, “with Bureau 39 sometimes “(compelling) diplomats to use their credentials to smuggle goods”.Many noted the incongruity in July when North Korea, a serial money launderer, was granted observer status on the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Some speculate his sister, who is married to a top official in Office 39, could be starting to take control as well. There, in Office 39, the country’s ruler Kim Jong-Un has continued his father and predecessor Kim Jong-Il’s practice of rewarding himself and loyalists in … North Korea’s embassies were organized like a multinational criminal enterprise.”Many so-called diplomats crisscrossed the globe, carrying liquor, cigarettes, and drugs manufactured in North Korea or other contraband to embassies around the world. Retired Defense Department analyst Robert Collins’ extensive study of the OGD also documents her role in the Propaganda and Agitation Department, where Office 39 is housed. It is independent from the government, acting purely as source of cash for the Kims and their affiliated elites.“One can hardly say that they are actually an ‘arm of the party’ since their directors answered directly to Kim Jong Il and now Kim Jong Un,” Steve Sin, a former counter-intelligence officer specializing in the Asia-Pacific region, told Office 39 remains the Kim family business, with rumors that Kim Yo Chung, Kim Jong Un’s sister, being mentored by Kim Sol Song, Kim Jong Un’s half-sister, in managing the family slush fund, an anonymous source with extensive experience investigating the activities of the bureau said.In charge of directing the Bureau’s activities is Jon Il Chun, who also serves as director of the Daesong group.

The extra electricity comes as Office 39 seeks to recoup losses from the previous year, the source said. But the information available from defectors and other sources indicates that Kim’s sister and her husband, by “Ms. Als Office 39 (auch Bureau 39, Room 39, Division 39 und Büro 39) wird eine geheime Einrichtung des Zentralkomitees (ZK) der Partei der Arbeit Koreas (PdAK) bezeichnet, die der Finanzierung des nordkoreanischen Regimes dient. But one thing is for sure: It is involved in the acquisition of hard currency for Kim Jong Un and the DPRK’s ruling elite, and has employed a variety of schemes to raise these funds. The Kumgang unit handles gold.In this April 16, 2020, file photo, a customer puts gold bars on basket for sell to a gold shop in Bangkok, Thailand.The North Korean secret organization that oversees Kim Jong Un’s slush funds and foreign currency is looking to cash in on record gold prices by diverting scarce electricity to facilities that produce the precious metal, sources in the country told RFA.Although gold exports are prohibited under UN sanctions aimed at depriving Pyongyang of cash and resources that could be channeled into its nuclear and missile programs, Office 39 has made a push to produce more gold, which is fetching nearly $2,000 an ounce, officials familiar with mining operations said.“The central Party ordered the priority supply of electricity to gold production facilities under Office 39,” an official who requested anonymity for security reasons told RFA Tuesday.Formally the Central Committee Bureau 39 of the Workers' Party of Korea, the organization charged with procuring slush funds for Kim Jong Un was set up in the late 1970s under the rule of regime founder Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Un’s grandfather.“Gold plants in North Pyongan province’s Kumgang department are located in the Unsan county area, including in Chonma county.

It alleged the office was “a secretive branch of the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) that provides critical support to North Korean leadership in part through engaging in illicit economic activities and managing slush funds and generating revenues for the leadership.”Then on Jan. 11, 2017, just before Donald Trump assumed the presidency, the Treasury Department added Kim Yo-Jong to its list of sanctioned individuals.
