[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Future United Party (now People Power Party) lawmaker Min Kyung-wook has been reported and is under police investigation for leaving his home without permission during his self-quarantine period. This is the third time Min has been reported for violating COVID-19 quarantine rules.

On the 5th, Incheon Yeonsu Police Station announced that they are investigating Min on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act.

Min is suspected of leaving his quarantine location without permission on March 15th at his home in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, just before his self-quarantine was to be lifted.

Although his quarantine was scheduled to be lifted around noon that day, it was found that he traveled by car to the Seoul Southern District Court, where the trial for the National Assembly Fast-Track collision incident was being held.

The Yeonsu-gu Public Health Center confirmed this fact and reported Min to the Yeonsu Police Station in May. The police recently sent Min a summons requesting his appearance by the 6th, but Min reportedly requested to reschedule.

This is not the first time Min has been reported for violating quarantine rules.

In August last year, he was reported and investigated by the police for organizing a rally in downtown Seoul with thousands of participants as the standing representative of the "4.15 Fraudulent Election National Struggle Headquarters" during the Liberation Day rally, violating the Infectious Disease Control Act and the Assembly and Demonstration Act. Additionally, he was reported for violating quarantine guidelines after coming into contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient at that rally.
