The prosecution requested an arrest warrant yesterday for Jung Hyun-ho, CEO of Medytox, who is suspected of illegally distributing unverified drugs. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety received a report through the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission last year alleging illegal activities during the production of 'Medytoxyn' by Medytox and launched its own investigation. At the same time, it requested an investigation by the Cheongju District Prosecutors' Office. The warrant hearing is scheduled to be held today.
