Court: "No Decision on Yoon Seok-yeol's Suspension of Execution Today"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The court will not issue a ruling on June 30 regarding the reinstatement of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who has been suspended from his duties.
The Administrative Division 4 of the Seoul Administrative Court (Presiding Judge Jo Mi-yeon) reportedly did not reach a conclusion on the suspension of execution application filed by Prosecutor General Yoon, who challenged the suspension order issued by Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae.
A court official explained, "Since working hours have ended, no decision will be registered today," adding, "It is unknown when the decision will be made."
Accordingly, the decision on whether the suspension of Prosecutor General Yoon's duties will be maintained is expected to be made no earlier than July 1.
On June 24, Minister Chu requested the suspension and disciplinary action against Yoon after an investigation revealed six allegations, including the so-called 'judge surveillance.'
