[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Choi Mo (74), the mother-in-law of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, has filed a complaint with the Seocho Police Station in Seoul against her former business partner Jeong Dae-taek for defamation and false accusation.

Choi's legal representative, lawyer Lee Chung-yoon, stated in a press release on the 21st, "This complaint concerns Jeong's false claims confirmed in a total of 11 guilty verdicts over the past 14 years," adding, "Since 2019, Jeong has maliciously spread false information involving Choi and her family through the media and YouTube."

He continued, "The essence of this case is that Jeong, having failed to profit by exploiting Choi without investing any of his own money in 2003, has harassed Choi with various lies for the past 18 years," and urged the investigative authorities to "thoroughly investigate Jeong's crimes, reveal the substantive truth in detail, and severely punish him to prevent such malicious acts from recurring."

Choi and Jeong were involved in civil and criminal lawsuits over the distribution of 5.3 billion KRW in investment profits obtained during the acquisition of a sports center in Songpa-gu, Seoul, in 2003. Choi accused Jeong of coercion regarding the agreement, and Jeong was sentenced to two years in prison by the Supreme Court in 2006.
