“I bought Cho Doo-soon” in the mart sightings “I’m shaking my hand”

When an eyewitness story that’I saw Cho Doo-soon shopping at a mart’ spread in the online community on the 2nd, the Ministry of Justice and the police said that it was not true. Cho Doo-soon (69), who served 12 years for child rape, has been released from the hospital in December of last year and lives with his wife at his home in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.

The incident was triggered on April Fool’s Day, when an online community posted a photo of buying alcoholic beverages at a men’s and women’s mart, which appears to be an old age, as well as an article stating “It appeared at the Cho Doo-soon mart. The gray-haired man was wearing a hat deeply, and he was checking the receipt with the woman who was accompanying him. Soju was in the shopping cart.

Some netizens also claimed to be an’electronic anklet’, a device for tracking the location of the criminal by expanding the folded part of the pants on the ankle of the man. Controversy spread among netizens, such as “Is it okay for child sex offender Jo Doo-soon to buy alcohol?”, and some media reported that Cho Doo-soon’s outing was true.

However, it was not true as a result of confirmation by the Ministry of Justice and the police authorities. The Ministry of Justice said, “After being released from the electronic supervision target in December of last year, there is no fact of going out except for going out with a probation officer in a mart near the residence to purchase daily necessities.” “No.”

At the same time, “Cho Doo-soon was imposed by the court to comply with’Do not drink alcohol with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or more’, and a dedicated probation officer is constantly checking whether to drink alcohol.” We are thoroughly supervising through methods such as inspection and 24-hour behavioral observation near the residential area,” he added.

The Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency also said, “As a result of the confirmation of the Ansan Compliance Support Center for probation of Cho Doo-soon, there is no fact that Jo Doo-soon is going out in the last three months.” I haven’t seen it,” he said.

The story of Cho Doo-soon’s purchase of alcoholic beverages at the mart was a kind of’happening’. However, there were also complaints of damage from netizens who claimed that the person in the picture was their family.

Netizen A said to a community with a picture of the shoes worn by the person in the photo at 8 am on the day, saying, “The picture of Cho Doo-soon buying alcohol at the mart is wrong.” Mother-in-law.”

He said, “I woke up in the morning and watched the news, and my hands all trembled,” he said. “The person in the picture is not the Cho Doo-soon couple.” He said, “The two couples have come in for a year, and they have a drink for us (going to the mart),” he said. “The hat you are wearing is the one I bought, and the yellow sneakers I also bought.”

“The artisan adult is raising his hair saying that he will try to lengthen his hair that he couldn’t do while working. Now our mother-in-law has a trembling heart and a trembling hand, so he doesn’t know what to do.” He added.

Mr. A said, “It’s embarrassing to start with the community and spread quickly without checking information. I feel the fear of this era once again that this can happen to my family.” If you read the article, I ask you to write it down and write it down,” he appealed.

Meanwhile, according to local governments, the Cho Doo-soon couple receives a maximum of about 1.2 million won, including a basic pension of 300,000 won, from Ansan City every month.

Prior to release, he applied for a’employment program for inmates’, which caused controversy, but is currently not participating in this program. The’Hug Job Support Program’ he applied for was a system that provided education expenses of up to 3 million won (6 months) for vocational training or improvement of vocational skills.

An official from the Ministry of Justice said, “Because Cho Doo-soon is old and known (as a brutal criminal), it would not have been easy for a company to hire him.”
