[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The Citizens' Action for Judicial Justice (Sasaehaeng) has once again filed a complaint against former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol with the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (Gongsoocheo).

On the 21st, Kim Han-me, the representative of Sasaehaeng, held a press conference in front of the Government Complex Gwacheon and stated, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon, along with former Yongsan Tax Office Chief Yoon Woo-jin, received entertainment such as golf hospitality and meals, which were prepaid by a meat importer named Kim in 2011," explaining the reason for the complaint.

He then requested that the two individuals and three others, including a former prosecutor who accompanied them, be punished for bribery under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes (Special Act). Former Tax Office Chief Yoon is the older brother of Yoon Dae-jin, the Planning Director of the Legal Research and Training Institute, who is considered a close aide to Prosecutor General Yoon.

Representative Kim also argued that "Former Prosecutor General Yoon tolerated and aided the criminal acts of former Tax Office Chief Yoon, who received bribes exceeding 100 million won in exchange for quashing a tax investigation," and insisted that charges of aiding bribery under the Special Act should be added.

Sasaehaeng, led by Representative Kim, has filed complaints against former Prosecutor General Yoon with Gongsoocheo ten times so far. Gongsoocheo is currently investigating two cases among them: the alleged inadequate investigation of the Optimus Fund fraud and the obstruction of investigation related to the false testimony coaching against former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook.

In addition to Gongsoocheo, Sasaehaeng has filed fourteen complaints against former Prosecutor General Yoon with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and one complaint with the National Investigation Headquarters.
