It was confirmed on the 28th that a fact-finding team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, which investigates the investigation process of the assault case of a taxi driver by Vice Minister of Justice Yong-gu Yong-gu, called the victim taxi driver as a reference.
According to the police and other relevant authorities, the joint fact-finding team for the hearing and investigation of the Seoul Police Agency called the victim, taxi driver A, to the Seongdong Police Station at around 6 pm on the 25th to investigate the reference. It has been one day since the fact-finding team was established on the 24th. On the 26th, the fact-finding team called the owner who restored the black box video containing the scene of the assault of Vice Minister Lee as a reference to investigate.
“Vice Minister Lee asked me to delete the video. It was not a condition of agreement.”
Taxi driver A said that during the investigation of the fact-finding team’s reference, the investigator made a statement about the circumstances of checking the black box video and whether the incident was involved.
On the 27th, Mr. A met with a reporter from JoongAng Ilbo near his house and said, “I told the fact-finding team that the investigator at the time said,’I will not see it,’ after watching the black box video.” The video is a 37-second video where Mr. A was assaulted by Deputy Minister Lee on November 6 of last year, visited a black box company to restore the video, and then shot the scene of the assault and stumbling with his mobile phone. At the time, investigator B, after checking the video, said, “I won’t see it.”
Mr. A said, “At the time of the agreement, Vice Minister Lee asked to delete the video, but there was no request to delete the video on the terms of the agreement.” “At the time, Vice Minister Lee did not even say not to show the video to the police.” In addition, it was said that there was no intervention from investigator B when writing an application for non-punishment against Lee, three days after the assault incident occurred.
Earlier on the 24th, attorney Shin Yong-tae, an attorney of the Vice Minister, said, “There is a great concern that the fact that the faction of the taxi driver with the statement of the taxi driver will cause another pain to the taxi driver is high.” I opened the door.

Mr. A restored the video at a black box company in Seongdong-gu because the scene at that time was not played in the black box the day after the assault incident (November 7 last year). Regarding this, Mr. A argued that “there was an accident (assault), but it was taken for the purpose of protecting me in case there was no such thing.”
Mr. A said about the’Lee Yong-gu case’, saying, “Because I filed an application for punishment, I think it’s all over,” and said, “I forgot all about the behavior of the customer, such as grabbing the flesh.”

Meanwhile, on the 27th, the prosecution confiscated and searched the Seocho Police Station in relation to the case of Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu. It seems that investigator B is affiliated with the criminal and office to secure the records of the case and internal reports.
B’s internal computer documents and cell phones were also included in the confiscation targets, who were under suspicion without investigating the filming of the black box video shown by the taxi driver. With this seizure search, the prosecution is planning to intensively investigate whether the police are “investigating care”.
