[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The Citizens' Action for Judicial Justice (Sasaehaeng) has additionally filed a complaint against former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol on charges of obstructing inspection and investigation related to Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon (abuse of authority and obstruction of the exercise of rights).


On the 14th, Kim Han-me, the representative of Sasaehaeng, held a press conference in front of the Government Complex Gwacheon and claimed, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon deliberately obstructed the legitimate inspection duties of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Inspection Department and unjustly interfered with the investigation to protect his closest aide, Han Dong-hoon."


He added, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon willfully neglected his duty as a prosecutor by intentionally failing to exercise his authority to direct the investigation into Han's alleged conspiracy to attempt coercion."


Representative Kim stated, "Today marks the tenth time we have filed a complaint against former Prosecutor General Yoon with the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO)," and announced plans to also file complaints regarding suspicions of a botched bribery investigation involving former Yongsan Tax Office chief Yoon Woo-jin and allegations surrounding Yoon's wife, Kim Gun-hee.



The CIO has launched investigations into three cases reported by Representative Kim: ▲ the leak of the indictment by Lee Sung-yoon, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office ▲ suspicions of a botched investigation into former Prosecutor General Yoon's involvement in the Optimus Fund fraud ▲ allegations of obstruction of investigation into former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook's perjury coaching by former Prosecutor General Yoon.
