[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The case involving Yoon Mi-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was accused of forcing Grandmother Gil Won-ok, a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, to continue overseas schedules despite suffering a fractured rib, has been transferred to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.

On the 24th, according to the Action Alliance for the Restoration of the Rule of Law (Beopse-ryeon), the case in which Yoon was accused of violating the Elderly Welfare Act was transferred to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.

The organization filed a complaint with the Supreme Prosecutors' Office on the 8th regarding media reports that Yoon, who was the executive representative of the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan (Jeongdae-hyeop) in December 2017, knew about Grandmother Gil's fractured rib during a trip to Germany but neglected it and forced the schedule to proceed.

In response, Yoon denied the allegations, stating it was "an act of maliciously spreading false information with the intent to insult and defame."

Initially, the case was assigned to the Criminal Division 4 of the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office. However, it is reported that it was later transferred to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office considering Yoon's residential jurisdiction.
