This sure didn’t take long if true:

The owner of a prominent realty company placed off-limits in February and investigated for criminal wrongdoing said she expects U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan officials to allow her to resume working with Area II troops soon.

Julie Baek, head of Julie’s Realty, said the former head of Installation Management Command-Korea wrote in a June 20 letter that she could immediately begin working again in Areas I and III.

The letter, from Brig. Gen. Al Aycock, also said a disciplinary board would consider allowing her to work with Yongsan personnel again if she agreed to take “corrective actions” and give them additional information related to the case, according to Baek.

Baek declined Tuesday to say what action she has taken, but said she provided the requested information June 30 and is waiting on their decision. She also declined to provide the letter to Stars and Stripes.

Installation Management officials declined this week to provide a copy of Aycock’s letter because of “privacy concerns.” IMCOM spokesman Ed Johnson would not cite Department of Defense regulations allowing the command to withhold the document.

Military officials have refused since February to say why Julie’s Realty was placed off-limits.

They also have not answered questions this week about the status of a Criminal Investigation Division probe into the company, or when the disciplinary board will make a decision about reinstating it. [Stars & Stripes]

Julie’s Realty was put off limits for writing false contracts and overcharging USFK servicemembers in a scam that has been going on for years in Korea.
