Former Ulsan Police Chief Hwang Unha "Received Prosecutor's Summons... Will Uncover the Truth"
[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Former Ulsan Metropolitan Police Chief Hwang Un-ha is being investigated by the prosecution in connection with allegations of 'Blue House ordered investigation and election interference.'
On the 16th, Hwang posted on his Facebook, "I received a summons from the prosecution this morning," adding, "I have nothing to be ashamed of when looking up to the sky, so I will attend confidently and clarify the truth."
Hwang is expected to actively refute the allegations of the Blue House ordered investigation during the prosecution's inquiry. He was the Ulsan Police Chief when the police were investigating around former Ulsan Mayor Kim Gi-hyeon. Kim's side claimed, "The police conducted an unfair investigation under the Blue House's orders," and filed complaints against Hwang, then Ulsan Police Chief, and other police officials for abuse of authority and violations of the Public Official Election Act.
Hwang emphasized, "The prosecution is making the country noisy over an issue not worth investigating," and said, "If summoned, I will cooperate to clarify the truth."
It is reported that Hwang is consulting with his lawyer regarding the attendance schedule. He said, "Since I have schedules that are difficult to adjust, such as preparing for the general election, I will coordinate the schedule with the prosecution." Hwang submitted his resignation to the police the day before to run in the general election.
