Hong Jun-pyo: "Yoon Seok-yeol's Special Activity Fund Audit 'Ironic'... President Moon's Neglect Constitutes Dereliction of Duty"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo criticized the controversy over the special activity expenses (special funds) audit targeting Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "It is truly ironic that the 'Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution,' which at the time accused institutional practices of embezzlement, is now undergoing a special funds audit." He also emphasized that President Moon should not neglect the dispute between Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon.

On the morning of the 9th, former leader Hong stated on Facebook, "The issue of institutional special funds refers to the special funds that the Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution team investigated, which had been handled as a customary practice during the Park Geun-hye administration, and which led to the conviction of former President Park and key figures of that government."

He added, "I have also suffered from false accusations before, but it is truly ironic that the Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution, which at the time accused institutional practices of embezzlement, is now, conversely, being audited for special funds. Every day, the minister and the prosecutor general are fighting like children, pushing aside the already difficult livelihood issues," he criticized.

Former leader Hong urged, "President Moon should resolve this issue quickly in any way possible," and warned, "If he continues to neglect it, that will be an act of presidential dereliction of duty."
