[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The civic group Action to Restore the Rule of Law (Beopse-ryeon) has filed a complaint with the prosecution against Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae, Director of the Prosecutor's Office Shim Jae-cheol, and Inspector Park Eun-jung on charges of abuse of authority and obstruction of the exercise of rights.

On the morning of the 30th, Beopse-ryeon held a press conference in front of the Western District Prosecutors' Office in Mapo-gu, Seoul, stating, "The suspension from duty, disciplinary request, and investigation referral against Prosecutor General Yoon were abuses of authority that obstructed Prosecutor General Yoon's exercise of rights and forced inspection officials to perform duties they were not obligated to."

The group also filed complaints against Director Shim and Inspector Park on the same charges, saying they "effectively led the search and seizure operation at the Investigation and Policy Office of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office" and that "leading an illegal search and seizure forced the personnel involved to perform duties they were not obligated to."

Regarding filing the complaint with the Western District Prosecutors' Office, the group pointed out, "Due to the unprecedented paralysis of the prosecution recently, we cannot expect a fair investigation from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office under Chief Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon, who acts as a regime's lackey, or from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office without Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, so we are submitting the complaint to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office."
