The prosecution additionally recovered about 2.1 billion won in unpaid surcharges from former President Chun Doo-hwan. The additional surcharge collected this year is 3.5 billion won.
On the 31st, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (Director Seung-Hwan Park, Prosecutor Park Seung-Hwan) awarded 1.26 billion won in compensation for forestry in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do under the name of the former president’s family, and 910 million won in compensation from two family-related companies. It announced that it has redeemed a total of 2.176 billion won.
Earlier, the prosecution recovered 350 million won in compensation for the former president’s family-affiliated company in June of this year, and 1.01 billion won in the auction of the former president’s family in the forest in Anyang city in August this year.
Accordingly, the total amount of unpaid surcharges collected by the prosecutors from the former president this year amounted to 3,536 billion won, and 12.29 billion won (about 56%) was executed out of the total of 2205 billion won.
The unpaid surcharge was about 97 billion won, which was below 100 billion won for the first time.
In 1997, the former president was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Supreme Court on charges of civil rebellion and bribery and a final judgment of 2205 billion won in additional fines. However, after paying 31.3 billion won at the time, it has been delayed for reasons such as’the deposit asset is 290,000 won’.
In response, the prosecution filed an application for a statement of property in the court in 2003, saying, “Please clarify the property list of the former president accurately,” and the court specified the property list of the former president.
The prosecution again filed an application for a statement of property in the court saying that 16 years later, in April 2019, the former president’s property list must be re-evaluated, but the Supreme Court dismissed it earlier this month.
