[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Action Alliance for Establishing the Rule of Law (Beopse-ryeon) has filed an additional complaint against Yoon Mi-hyang, the former chairperson of the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeong-ui-yeon) and the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea.

On the morning of the 20th, Beopse-ryeon held a press conference at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and announced that they are filing a complaint against Yoon for violating the Telecommunications Business Act by spreading false information through media interviews and press releases. This concerns the source of funds used to purchase an apartment in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province.

Beopse-ryeon stated, "Yoon won an apartment at an auction in April 2012 for 226 million won and initially claimed that the source of the auction payment was from selling her previous apartment. However, within half a day, she changed her story, saying she used savings and deposits accumulated over 30 years of work and borrowed the remaining amount from her family," adding, "She has failed to provide any evidence to support her claims regarding the savings or the loan from her family."

They continued, "She has also repeatedly changed her story about the source of her daughter's study abroad funds and has not presented any concrete evidence," but added, "Since she has not provided evidence regarding the source of the auction payment, public suspicion continues to grow, making a forced investigation inevitable."

Meanwhile, on the 18th, Beopse-ryeon also filed a complaint with the prosecution regarding allegations of an overpriced purchase of the Ansan Comfort Women Shelter, stating, "Although the shelter was normally purchased for about 450 million won, Yoon bought it for 750 million won, which caused the donation funds meant to be properly used for the comfort women victims to be unjustly gained by a third-party seller, resulting in damages to the organization," and filed charges against Yoon.
