As former chief Kang strongly opposed this, Chairman Kim changed his words in an imprisonment letter to the effect that “a lawyer and prosecutor from the prosecutors’ office conferred a passport lobby statement, and allegations of lobbying against opposition politicians were abolished.” The Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office ruled prosecutor Choi as a “one-point” person and excluded it from the investigation, citing reasons such as the recruitment of vacancy.
