[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 30th, the Liberty Korea Party announced that it has filed a complaint with the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and requested an internal investigation against Lee Seong-yoon, Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, on charges of dereliction of duty and disclosure of official secrets.

The party stated that Prosecutor Lee ignored three times the prosecution order given by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol regarding Choi Kang-wook, Secretary for Public Office Discipline, on the 22nd, and despite the investigation team reporting from the office of the accused to approve the prosecution, he left the office without carrying out the order, which is the reason for the complaint.

They also criticized him for dereliction of duty for omitting reports to the Prosecutor General and the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office during the prosecution process and only reporting to Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae. The Liberty Korea Party said, "Considering that Prosecutor Lee's actions are serious criminal acts aimed at obstructing a fair investigation into important crimes involving current regime officials, we hope that a thorough investigation and internal audit will clearly reveal the truth."
