[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The police investigating the sexual harassment case of former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don appear to be conducting non-public summons investigations into the political officials involved in negotiations with the victim's side.

According to the Busan Police Agency on the 13th, the police recently summoned and questioned several individuals related to former Mayor Oh's political officials. The police stated that due to concerns such as disclosure of the suspect's facts, they cannot reveal specific details about the investigation or the subjects involved.

These political officials are known to have played a key role in managing the case by meeting with the victim's side, including the Busan Sexual Violence Counseling Center, after former Mayor Oh's sexual harassment incident, discussing the timing of his resignation and the certification of his resignation.

Earlier, after Mayor Oh resigned on the 23rd of last month, most of his political officials, including former Busan City Policy Chief Secretary Jang Hyung-cheol, submitted their resignations and cut off contact with the outside.

The Busan Police Agency's dedicated investigation team is reviewing seven cases filed by civic groups such as Halbindan against former Mayor Oh on charges including violations of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
