[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The Justice Memory Solidarity (Jeonguiyeon) stated on the 15th that "most of the allegations of accounting fraud against Jeonguiyeon have been found to be legally unproblematic" in response to the prosecution's investigation results.

Jeonguiyeon released a statement that day, expressing regret toward the prosecution for "forcibly filing charges and making forced-fit accusations."

Regarding the indictment of Democratic Party lawmaker Yumi-hyang and former executive A of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan (Jeongdaehyeop), it added, "It is difficult to understand that the prosecution indicted activist Yoon, who has devoted her life to resolving the Japanese military 'comfort women' issue and has carried out legitimate activities according to procedures, for violating the Act on the Management of Subsidies and other charges."

The prosecution alleged that lawmaker Yoon embezzled 100 million won for personal use and fraudulently received 360 million won in subsidies. She was indicted without detention yesterday on seven charges, including violation of the Act on the Management of Subsidies, violation of the Act on the Solicitation and Use of Donations, and embezzlement in the course of duty.

Jeonguiyeon stated, "It can only be seen as an intention to fundamentally disparage not only the overall movement to resolve the Japanese military comfort women issue but also the activities of victim survivors who became human rights activists," and "above all, we strongly regret that the prosecution imposed conspiracy charges even on the deceased, who cannot defend themselves, and dismissed the noble actions of the surviving victims as the behavior of 'demented elderly people.'"
