Upon hearing the report, the District Prosecutor’s Office answered with the intention of “I understand”, but said that he still did not pay. An official at the prosecution said on the 20th, “The matter is under review and no decision has been made.”

It has been more than a month since Chief Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon crushed the approval of the investigation team’s alleged conclusion against a prosecutor. Earlier, District Prosecutor Lee left the case review to Choi Seong-pil, the second deputy prosecutor, instead of the first deputy prosecutor Kim Wook-jun, who expressed his appreciation in early December of last year. In this regard, the Deputy Prosecutor Choi also reviewed 130 pages of alleged reasons for innocence prepared by the investigation team and posted an opinion to the effect that “the investigation team’s conclusion was correct”, but the Chief Prosecutor Lee dismissed this. In August of last year, the investigation team prosecuted former Channel A reporter Lee Dong-jae for attempted coercion, but did not state the alleged conspiracy of a prosecutor in the complaint.

It was found that the first criminal investigation conducted a considerable investigation on the Open Democratic Party representative Choi Kang-wook, who was accused of spreading false information and defaming in connection with the Channel A case last April. The case, which was accused by the “solidarity of action to establish the rule of law” (legal refinement), was titled “Letter and Transcript Awards Channel A Reporter Lee Dong-jae’s Remarks” written on Facebook on April 3, last year when CEO Choi was a candidate for the 4-15 general election. The main point is that the writing of the book is false.

At the time, CEO Choi said to Lee Chul, former Value Invest Korea (VIK) CEO, “Tell me that you gave money to Si-min Yoo (Chairman of the Roh Moo Hyun-dan)” “Close your eyes and just say a word that you gave money to Si-min Yoo”. Claimed to have made a remark. However, in the prosecution’s investigation as well as in the trial of the former reporter, the contents that could prove that Choi’s writing was true were not revealed.

Accordingly, on the 18th, former reporter submitted a statement stating that “CEO Choi’s writing is false” to the investigation team that investigated the allegations of spreading the false information of CEO Choi. Regarding some reports that the prosecutor’s office had crushed Choi’s case of spreading false information for nine months, “The investigation of the accused was already carried out at the time of the accusation, and the fact that most of the facts were overlapped or intertwined with each other, so there is a frustration that the investigation has begun. . “A lot of investigations have already been conducted on those involved.”

The Open Democratic Party’s representative Choi Kang-wook, who was accused of falsely filling out the internship confirmation of the son of former Justice Minister Cho Kook, is heading to court to attend a decision hearing held at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-dong, Seoul on the afternoon of December 23 last year. Choi was also charged with spreading false information (violation of the Public Official Election Act) for remarking that he did not write false intern confirmations during last year’s general election. yunhap news

It is unclear whether the accused, CEO Choi, will be subpoenaed. An official at the prosecution said, “Isn’t he the one who comes out (for investigation)? We cannot confirm specifics, but we are investigating according to possible and necessary procedures.” The former reporter, who was pointed out as the victim of this accusation, argues that “the case itself is a matter that can be sufficiently prosecuted without summoning Choi.”

Choi’s writing was based on the assertion of Mr. Jimo, the so-called “Informer X,” who declared himself the representative of the former representative, and it is said that last year’s investigation team also raised opinions that the seizure and search of Ji is necessary. However, it is said that the opposition of the command line, Jeong Jin-woong, the first deputy prosecutor of the Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office, Lee Jung-hyun, the first deputy prosecutor of the Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office, and Lee Seong-yoon, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, are said to have failed.

On the 15th, Mr. Ji’s adoption of witnesses in court was also missed at a trial for former reporters and others. Judge Park Jin-hwan, the exclusive criminal judge of the Seoul Central District Court, said, “It is difficult to find Ji and it is difficult to find out the location” as a result of the request for a location investigation (a procedure that delegates to the police to investigate the whereabouts of a witness). However, in November of last year, Mr. Ji published a book entitled “Informer X, Prisoner and Prosecutor” under the pseudonym of “Ioha” and is actively active publicly by conducting a YouTube broadcast called “Informer X’s Report Factory”.

One prosecution officer said, “The command department excluded prosecutors who allegedly seized and searched Mr. Ji from the investigation team, and the court avoided the attendance of witnesses because those who published books and broadcasted were unknown. Meanwhile, Ji continues to mock the judicial system through social media.”
