[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 27th that they investigated Hyun Mo, a duty soldier who raised suspicions about former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's son Seo Mo's 'failure to return from military leave,' as a complainant.

Previously, after raising suspicions regarding Seo's military service, Hyun filed a defamation complaint with the police in December last year against Democratic Party lawmaker Jang Kyung-tae and netizens who criticized and slandered him.

Hyun has claimed that while on duty on June 25, 2017, during his military service, he became aware that Seo did not return to the unit after his leave ended and ordered him to return by phone.

Regarding Hyun's allegations, Lawmaker Jang said, "It was a report that only increased confusion among the public," adding, "It was information he did not even know accurately."

Meanwhile, Hyun has also filed a defamation complaint with the prosecution against former Minister Choo and her son Seo's legal representatives. The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office, which is investigating the case, questioned Hyun on the 18th.
