[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol assured on the 29th at a press conference held at the Maehun Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall in Seocho-gu, Seoul, that there would be no exceptions even in trials related to relatives.

When asked about reports stating that his mother-in-law had claimed she never caused even a ten-won loss to anyone, and that there are views that such remarks are inappropriate for a former prosecutor general and a leading presidential candidate during ongoing investigations and trials, Yoon responded accordingly.

He said, "I am not sure how such an expression came about," adding, "I have lived with the belief that there should never be any exceptions, whether during my time as a prosecutor or afterward." Former Prosecutor General Yoon stated, "Whether it involves relatives or people in any position, I remain steadfast in the belief that there should be no exceptions in investigations and trials," and emphasized, "As I stressed during my tenure as prosecutor general, law enforcement must be conducted fairly so that the public can accept it."
