[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] The prosecution investigating allegations related to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's family has summoned and questioned Yoon's brother-in-law in connection with the investigation involving Yoon's mother-in-law.


The Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Park Soon-bae) summoned and questioned Yoo Mo, another son-in-law of Choi Mo, Yoon's mother-in-law, on the 4th regarding suspicions of Choi's involvement in the establishment of a nursing hospital and fraudulent receipt of nursing benefits.


Yoo was the administrative director at A Nursing Hospital, where Choi served as co-chairperson.


The prosecution reportedly sought to confirm whether Choi was involved in the operation of the nursing hospital through Yoo.


In October 2012, Choi established a medical foundation with business partner Koo Mo and founded A Nursing Hospital in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.



The prosecution is investigating whether Prosecutor General Yoon was involved in the non-prosecution decision process concerning Choi, who was exempted from responsibility for hospital operations after resigning as chairperson in May 2014, despite Koo and two others being indicted for violating medical laws related to fraudulent nursing benefit claims.
