[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] The court's decision has halted the digital forensic examination of the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul's mobile phone.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced that the Seoul Northern District Court accepted the suspension of execution request filed by the family of former Mayor Park on the 30th regarding the mobile phone forensic procedure, and consequently, the forensic procedure has been stopped.

The main lawsuit in this case concerns the quasi-appeal and suspension of execution related to the seizure and search of the mobile phone. A quasi-appeal is a procedure to raise objections against a judge's ruling or a prosecutor's disposition. It is known that the family of former Mayor Park filed a quasi-appeal against the mobile phone seizure and search along with a request for suspension of the forensic execution on the 24th.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission has decided to conduct an ex officio investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against former Mayor Park.
