[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] The 'Association of Judicial Examination Preparers (Sajunmo)' announced on the 18th that it has filed an additional complaint with the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office against Yoon Mi-hyang, proportional representative-elect of the Democratic Party of Korea, and former and current directors of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan (Jeongdaehyeop) and the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeon) on charges including breach of trust in the course of duty, violation of the Act on the Collection and Use of Donations, and fraud.

The targets of the complaint disclosed by Sajunmo include Yoon Mi-hyang, Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker-elect Lee Gyu-min, and unidentified public officials who provided subsidies to the organization.

In the complaint, the organization stated, "Yoon Mi-hyang purchased the 'Anseong Shelter' at a price that is incomprehensible by common sense," and claimed, "She used her position as a person in charge to benefit the seller." It further stated, "Lee Gyu-min, who brokered the land and building of the Anseong Shelter, should also be punished as an accomplice to breach of trust in the course of duty."

In 2012, the Justice and Memory Foundation purchased the 'House Where Peace and Healing Meet' in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, for 750 million KRW using 1 billion KRW designated as a donation by Hyundai Heavy Industries at the time, and sold it last month for about 420 million KRW.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's actual transaction disclosure system, houses of similar size near Geumgwang-myeon, Anseong City, were traded in the range of 100 million to 400 million KRW in the same year. However, Jeongdaehyeop purchased the Anseong Shelter for 750 million KRW. In response, the Justice and Memory Foundation stated, "Through final site inspections of three candidate locations, we identified that the market price for buildings with similar conditions was around 700 million to 900 million KRW."
