The police apologized for the suspicion that the police officer in charge covered the video of the assault scene of the taxi driver by Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu. At a press conference held at the Seodaemun-gu Police Office in Seoul on the morning of the 25th, Choi Seung-ryul, the head of the National Investigation Headquarters, said, “I explained to the media about the incident at the end of last year. “The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency organized a fact-finding team to check the facts and instructed to deal with any violations regardless of the command or sentence. Please stay tuned until the results of the investigation come out.” Police Commissioner Kim Chang-ryong said, “With the revision of the law (dividing the police into state, self-governing and investigative police), my answers to the investigation are limited,” he said. “I agree to take strict measures according to the results of the investigation.” On the 28th of last month, Director Choi explained the controversy over the police’s’look-at-investigation’ in the case of Deputy Minister Lee, with the effect that “there is no video of a taxi black box to prove Lee’s crimes, and there is no problem with the legal process that the internal affairs were terminated.” did. However, the fact that an investigator in charge of the Seocho Police Station confirmed the black box video filmed on a taxi driver’s mobile phone on November 11 last year has been revealed recently, and controversy over the patronage investigation is rising again. On the 24th, the Seoul Police Agency placed an investigator in charge on standby and formed a fact-finding team to investigate. In response to the reporter’s question, “(after the controversy) did not take a closer look at the existence of the taxi driver or the assault video,” Choi said, “(At the accusation of a civic group in the case of this Vice Minister), the prosecution started an investigation. Ira, contacting a taxi driver (at the police) or a car center (which restored the video) could be misunderstood.” On the night of November 6, last year, on the night of November 6, in front of his apartment in Seocho-gu, Seoul, Vice Minister Lee grabbed the neck of a taxi driver trying to awaken him from being drunk and was investigated by police. The police said there was no video of a taxi black box to prove the crime, and the taxi driver did not want to be punished. The police are conducting a fact-finding investigation, assuming that the investigator in charge did not report the fact that the video was checked to the top. Depending on the results of the investigation, the suspect may be converted to a suspect if the investigator in charge is revealed to have illegally concealed the matter. The police emphasized a strict investigation into related matters, but were wary of negative evaluations from the entire police organization, which had the right to terminate the first investigation from this year. This is because public opinion distrusting the police investigation is increasing as a result of the recent investigation of the’Jeong In-i case’ and the sexual harassment case of former Mayor Park Won-soon, until the end of the internal investigation of the assault of Vice Minister Lee. Director Choi said, “It is true that the employee’s fault was confirmed or that the people were uneasy with insufficient measures,” he said. “We will take careful care so that that part does not become an obstacle to the right to terminate the investigation or to conduct a responsible investigation.” By Jae-ho Lee, staff reporter [email protected] ▶Shortcut: I heard that there is no’Lee Yong-gu black box’… Police check the video and cover it up
