Yoon is accused of providing various conveniences to Yoo Sang-bong, a 'Hamba (temporary restaurant at construction sites) broker,' in exchange for assistance during this year's general election. Yoo is accused of filing a false complaint with the prosecution against former lawmaker Ahn Sang-soo of the United Future Party (now the People Power Party), who was a competing candidate at the time, in order to secure Yoon's victory in the Incheon Dong-gu Michuhol electoral district. Previously, the prosecution had indicted Yoo and his son, who were detained and transferred by the police, along with Yoon's Grade 4 aide A, on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act.
