[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, commented on the court ruling imprisoning the mother-in-law of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "Because of the existence of the Prosecutor General's son-in-law, only Mr. Choi's business partners have been imprisoned so far, while he himself has been known to have escaped here and there." He added, "Now that the shield of the Prosecutor General's son-in-law has disappeared, it seems that a proper indictment has been made this time, and judicial justice has been revealed."

He continued, "I believe that the matter, in which only the business partners were held responsible and imprisoned while continuously being declared innocent, has been clarified through the first trial. Although it was said that not even a 10-won coin was embezzled, the nearly 2.3 billion won in nursing care benefits, which is the people's property, was damaged, and this is something that must be deeply reflected upon," he criticized.

He also stated, "Responsible remarks from former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol are necessary."

Leader Song further said, "The logic used by Mr. Yoon himself when indicting Choi Soon-sil and Park Geun-hye was the economic community theory and the theory of tacit consent. The same economic community logic can be applied because it concerns his wife and mother-in-law. Since he is someone aspiring to become president, it is his duty to the people to make a clear statement regarding the first trial's guilty verdict."
