procurement and transfer to North Korea of luxury goods.
Office 39 figures among the most important organisations
assigned with currency and merchandise acquisition. It is
said to be directly under the command of KIM Jong-il.
It controls several trading companies some of which are
active in illicit activites, among them Daesong General
Bureau, part of Daesong group, the largest company
group of the country. Office 39 according to some
sources entertains representation office in Rome, Beijing,
Bangkok, Singapore, Hongkong and Dubai. To the outside
office 39 changes name and appearance regularly. Director
of office 39, JON il-chun is already listed on the EU
sanction list.
Office 39 produced methamphetamine in Sangwon, South
Pyongan Province and was also involved in the
distribution of methamphetamine to small-scale North
Korean smugglers for distribution through China and
South Korea. Office 39 also operates poppy farms in
North Hamkyo’ng Province and North Pyongan Province
and produces opium and heroin in Hamhu’ng and Nachin.
In 2009, Office 39 was involved in the failed attempt to
purchase and export to North Korea – through China –
two Italian-made luxury yachts worth more than
$15 million. Halted by Italian authorities, the attempted
export of the yachts destined for Kim Jong-il was in
violation of United Nations sanctions against North
Korea under UNSCR 1718, which specifically require
Member States to prevent the supply, sale, or transfer of
luxury goods to North Korea.
Office 39 previously used Banco Delta Asia to launder
illicit proceeds. Banco Delta Asia was identified by the
Treasury Department in September 2005 as a ‘primary
money laundering concern’ under Section 311 of the
USA PATRIOT Act because it represented an unacceptable
risk of money laundering and other financial crimes.
