[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] The civic group Committee for the Protection of Ordinary Citizens' Livelihoods announced on the 12th that it filed a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on the 9th of this month against Seo Mo (27), the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, on charges including obstruction of business.

The group claimed in the complaint, "The lawsuit filed by Minister Choo's son against SBS, which reported the statement by the then Commander of the United States Forces Korea Korea Support Group that 'there was pressure regarding unit deployment,' on charges of defamation, is an act of suppression aimed at gagging the media and an act of obstruction of business." They also named Seo's 'relative of unknown identity' who filed the complaint against SBS as a suspect.

Earlier, the group had also filed a complaint with the prosecution on the 8th of this month against Minister Choo on charges including abuse of power and obstruction of the exercise of rights, alleging that there were suspicions of preferential treatment in the employment process of her brother-in-law.
