A Seoul court on Friday issued an arrest warrant for a police officer accused of receiving some hundreds of millions of won in kickbacks from a helicopter maintenance company.
  
The police officer, identified only by his surname Kim, was taken into custody after the Seoul Central District Court issued the warrant, noting there were enough reasons and necessity for the arrest.
  
The 35-year-old is suspected of receiving bribes from the head of the company, identified only by his surname Bae, 37, in exchange for favors while working at the National Police Agency.
  
His predecessor was also taken into custody last week for unlawfully receiving money from Bae. (Yonhap)
