Court Grants Suspension of Execution for Removal Order of 'Nanumui Jip' Director

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The court has accepted the suspension of execution application filed by the directors of 'Nanum-ui Jip,' a support facility for former Japanese military comfort women, who are under suspicion of embezzling donations, against the dismissal order issued by Gyeonggi Province.

On the 16th, the 2nd Administrative Division of Suwon District Court accepted the suspension of execution application filed by five corporate directors of Nanum-ui Jip, including Wolju (CEO) and Seongwoo (Standing Director), who hold official positions, in opposition to the dismissal order by Gyeonggi Province.

On this day, the court stated, "There is no urgency recognized to prevent irreparable damage, and it does not significantly affect the public welfare." However, the dismissal order was suspended until the 20th day from the date of the main case judgment announcement.

The five corporate directors filed the suspension of execution application and a cancellation lawsuit with the court after Gyeonggi Province issued a dismissal order on December 18 last year, citing reasons such as obstruction of a public-private joint investigation, use of donations for purposes other than intended, and violation of the Act on the Collection and Use of Donations.

Earlier, on the 10th, the court dismissed the cancellation lawsuit against the suspension of duties filed by them against Gyeonggi Province, maintaining the suspension of duties.
