The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (Korean: 고위공직자범죄수사처; Hanja: 高位公職者犯罪搜査處; RR: Gowigongjikja beomjoesusacheo), or CIO in short, is an independent agency of the South Korean government responsible for prosecuting crimes and investigating allegations involving "high-ranking officials" or their direct family members. The CIO is expected to police almost 6,500 "high-ranking officials" - incumbent and former - and their spouses and children. The Act specifies the posts as high-ranking government officials, parliamentarians, prosecutors, judges and the President. However, its investigative authority limits to cases related to certain crimes defined by the Act leaving other sorts of allegations and crimes - sexual harassment case for instance - to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office for investigation and prosecution.
