Police “I want to apply the Lee Yong-gu Special Act, but the taxi driver changed the statement”

It was found that the controversial policeman, who was controversial by ending the assault case of the Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu, as a simple assault, was initially planning to apply the aggravated punishment law (Special Act) for specific crimes with heavy punishment. On the 23rd, an official at the Seocho Police Station in Seoul said, “The police box police officer who was dispatched to the scene reported this vice minister for violating the Special Price Act,” and said, “But two days later, the driver changed his statement and applied the crime of simple assault and ended it.”

According to the police, police officers at the Seocho Police Box, who had been reported to be assaulted at around 11:30 pm on the 6th of last month, secured a statement from a taxi driver that “they were abused and abused by customers.” At the time, the driver stated to the police officer of the Seocho Police Box, “When I got to the destination, (Vice Minister Lee) grabbed me by the neck,” and said, “When I stopped opening the rear door of the car when passing Gangnam Station, I swear to me.” Accordingly, police officers at Seocho Police Box applied the charges against the Deputy Minister for violation of the Special Act and reported it to the Seocho Police Station.

However, the driver attended the police on the 9th and overturned the statement that “there was nothing while driving,” and “the car was stopped at the time of the assault.” He continued, “When I thought about it, I wasn’t sure if the swear words were directed at me,” he said. “Because I was embarrassed, I said that I swear at first.” In addition, the part that was originally “grabbed the neck” was changed to “grabbed the fat”.

According to the police, Vice Minister Lee and the driver appear to have reached an agreement between the 7th and 8th days of the assault incident and just before the driver attended the police. A police official said, “The article said,’I agreed, so I will not go to the police station’ on the phone call last month.”

The Seocho Police Department closed the case of the Vice Minister on the 12th of last month. According to the article’s statement revealed in the police investigation, it was determined that the special price law could not be applied. The simple crime of assault that the police applied to this vice minister afterwards is a crime against false punishment in which the victim cannot prosecute the perpetrator unless the victim does not want to be punished. On the 8th of last month, the police did not apply for this loan, taking into account the petition for non-punishment submitted by the driver.

Some of the legal profession pointed out that “the conclusion of internal affairs was a premature judgment.” An attorney who wanted to remain anonymous said, “In the first statement, it was subject to the special punishment law that could be punished regardless of the victim’s intention,” and said, “We closed the case in a situation where there was no evidence to judge that the car was stopped.” An attorney from the prosecution also said, “The police should have confirmed why the victim changed the statement,” he said.

Accordingly, the police said, “The police box does not judge the case only with the first statement that was written down at the police box.” Also, at the time of the incident on the 6th of last month, the black box video was not secured from the taxi. The driver who was assaulted by Vice Minister Lee is known as a private taxi driver with more than 10 years of driving experience. The police said, “When I first came to the scene, the victim said’there is a black box.'” But, when I went to the police box and checked, there was no data on the SD card, so it was marked as ‘0 gigabytes (GB)’.” . “At the time, the driver said that he had never checked the black box,” he said. “(The article) went to Jangan-dong the next day to have the black box checked.”

Another lawyer from the prosecution said, “At the time of the assault, there was no only material evidence to know the situation on the scene.” The prosecution allocated a charge to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office to “re-investigate this case.”
