[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The Supreme Prosecutors' Office announced regarding the decision to convene the Investigation Deliberation Committee for the 'Prosecutor-Reporter Collusion' suspicion case that "we plan to listen to the deliberation results and reflect them in our work process."

On the 30th, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office stated in a text message sent to the press corps, "We will do our best to provide administrative support so that the Investigation Deliberation Committee related to the Channel A case can proceed smoothly."

The Prosecutor-Reporter Collusion suspicion case is unusually being handled simultaneously by both the Investigation Deliberation Committee and the Expert Investigation Advisory Group. Although the two bodies differ in procedures and composition, their functions are similar in that they deliberate on the appropriateness of the investigation and whether to file charges.

The Investigation Deliberation Committee was requested by Lee Cheol, former CEO of Value Invest Korea (VIK), who revealed that he was subjected to threatening reporting by Channel A reporter Lee Mo. There are various interpretations that this is a countermeasure against the Expert Advisory Group convened by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office following the complaint against the Channel A reporter.
