[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The prosecution has requested a pre-arrest warrant for former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don on charges including forcible molestation.

The Busan District Prosecutors' Office's Women and Children Crime Investigation Division (Chief Prosecutor Kim Eun-mi) announced on the 16th that after investigating former Mayor Oh on the 14th, they requested a pre-arrest warrant on the 15th.

Former Mayor Oh is accused of forcibly molesting a female subordinate in his office in April. After a warrant for his arrest was dismissed in June, he was released from the Busan Dongnae Police Station.

The prosecution is investigating former Mayor Oh under the charge of forcible molestation, which is considered more serious than molestation by abuse of authority in the workplace.
