Prosecution Seeks Prison Sentence for Former Aekyung CEO Over Non-Submission of Humidifier Disinfectant Hearing Materials
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The prosecution has requested a prison sentence for former Akzon Industry CEO Lee Yoon-kyu, who refused to submit materials at the humidifier disinfectant truth-finding hearing held by the Special Investigation Commission on Social Disasters (SICSD).
On the 16th, the prosecution asked the court to sentence former CEO Lee, who was indicted for violating the Act on the Investigation of Social Disasters, to 10 months in prison at the sentencing hearing presided over by Judge Kim Jun-hyuk of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 5.
The prosecution also requested a one-year prison sentence for former AK Holdings CEO Ahn Jae-seok, who was indicted together.
Former CEOs Lee and Ahn are accused of refusing to submit materials without justifiable reasons during the SICSD hearing in 2019.
Additionally, the prosecution requested fines of 5 million won each for former Akzon Industry CEO Mr. Ko, former Akzon Industry Executive Director Mr. Yang, and former SK Chemical SkyBio Team Leader Mr. Choi, who failed to appear at the hearing despite summons to testify.
The prosecution pointed out, "Although the SICSD was established to uncover the truth about the humidifier disinfectant incident, the perpetrating companies obstructed the investigation by not submitting materials and not appearing as witnesses."
