[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The prosecution is summoning the accounting officer of Justice Memory Solidarity (Jeonguiyeondae) for the third time for questioning.

According to legal circles, the Criminal Division 4 of the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Choi Ji-seok) summoned A, the accounting officer of Jeonguiyeondae, at around 10 a.m. on the 22nd for questioning as a witness.

Previously, A was questioned as a witness over two days on the 26th and 28th of last month. Additionally, two accounting officers from the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan (Jeongdaehyeop), the predecessor of Jeonguiyeondae and the current operator of the War and Women's Human Rights Museum, were summoned for questioning on the 1st and 4th respectively. During the investigation, the prosecution reportedly asked about suspicious points in the accounting records of Jeonguiyeondae and Jeongdaehyeop, their operational methods, and activity details.

According to Jeonguiyeondae's legal counsel, after the witness questioning, the prosecution frequently called late into the evening to inquire about Jeonguiyeondae's accounting and operational methods, causing the witnesses to report mental stress. It is expected that questions related to seized items will arise in this investigation.
