Chongryun has sold its head office in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, to an investment advisory firm headed by a former chief of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, which keeps tabs on the pro-Pyongyang group, according to the public property register.
The register shows that the head office of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan — a 10-story building on 2,390 sq. meters of land — was sold in late May to the investment advisory Harvest, run by Shigetake Ogata and based in Meguro Ward.
Chongryun still occupies the premises, but no information has been released about the terms of its continued use of the property.
