[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The witness examination by the Disciplinary Committee for Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is gaining momentum.


As of 5:30 PM on the 15th, the Disciplinary Committee is questioning Han Dong-su, head of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Inspection Department. This is the final witness examination for Yoon's side. After the questioning, Yoon's side is expected to present their final statement.


Once this procedure is completed, the committee will dismiss Yoon's side and discuss whether to impose disciplinary action and the level of such action before making a decision.
