[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] On the 16th, Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae ordered the Ministry of Justice to immediately begin an inspection of prosecutors accused of lobbying in connection with the 'Lime Asset Management' case.


Minister Choo instructed, "Since social attention is focused on the related allegations and it is a serious matter, thoroughly investigate the truth."



Kim Bong-hyun (46, detained and indicted), former chairman of Star Mobility and identified as the main culprit in the Lime scandal, claimed in a 'prison statement' on the same day that he lobbied current prosecutors.
