Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office 5th Criminal Division (Director Dong-Eon Lee) said on the morning of the morning that “in relation to the accusation of the Deputy Minister of Justice, a seizure and search warrant for the office of the Seoul Seocho Police Station was executed this morning.” The prosecution officials met with reporters after the seizure and search ended, leaving a reply saying “I will tell you later.”
According to legal officials, the prosecution confiscated the records of the case and internal reports at the criminal office of the Seocho Police Station. The Seocho Police Station was the first place in charge of the investigation after receiving the report of assault from Vice Minister Lee. It is said that the internal documents and mobile phones of Sergeant A, who are suspicious of covering up the black box video footage shown by the taxi driver, were also included in the confiscation target.
As soon as the prosecution finishes the analysis of the confiscated material, it is scheduled to call the officials of Seocho-seo, such as Sergeant A, to intensively investigate whether or not to investigate whether it is a “watching investigation”.

Earlier, on the night of November 6 last year, Vice Minister Lee assaulted a taxi driver who tried to wake him up in front of his apartment house in Seocho-gu, Seoul, but was not arrested and controversial. At the time, the taxi driver said he did not want to be punished, and the police applied the charges of assault under the criminal law, which is an anti-governmental crime, and closed the case. When the suspicion of investigation Muma was raised, the police have clarified it to the effect that “there is no black box video to prove the charges.”
However, in the process of re-investigating the case by the prosecution, a statement came out that a taxi driver visited a black box company and filmed a video of the situation with a mobile phone, and showed it to Investigator A, who is in charge. The taxi driver’s claim is that Sergeant A said,’I will assume I haven’t seen the video.’
The police also recently acknowledged some of the taxi driver’s statements as facts, and ordered slope A to wait. The police have also formed a joint fact-finding team for hearing and investigation to check the facts.
