It is said that the prosecution has not yet been decided on whether to prosecute Lee, who refused to attend the prosecution four times. With the Suwon District Prosecutor’s’bullet prosecution’ who rejected the request for the airlift, the conflict between the airlift and the prosecution is expected to be decided according to the judgment of the judge in charge. Prosecutor Lee and others are expected to argue that the prosecution’s filing of prosecution is illegal or unfair based on the Airlift Act in a future trial. By Jo Yoon-young, staff reporter
