Police Investigate Yoon Seok-yeol's Wife for Forgery of Private Documents... Civic Group Complainant Under Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon]The police have launched an investigation into a case where a civic group accused Kim Geon-hee, wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, of being an accomplice in the forgery of a bank balance certificate of her mother, Choi Mo.

The Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency summoned Kim Han-me, the representative of the Judicial Justice Restoration Civic Action (Sasehaeng), who filed a complaint against Kim on charges including forgery of private documents, on the 30th for a complainant investigation.

Earlier, Sasehaeng filed a complaint with the police last month, stating, "It is hard to imagine that Choi secretly contacted the company auditor to request the forgery of a false balance certificate without Kim's knowledge, and it is reasonable to believe that Kim was sufficiently aware of such a situation in advance."

Choi, mother-in-law of former Prosecutor General Yoon, is on trial for allegedly colluding with business partner Ahn Mo to forge a bank balance certificate showing a deposit of 34.7 billion won during the purchase of land in Dochon-dong, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province in 2013. Separately, Choi was sentenced to three years in prison and detained in court on the 2nd of last month in the first trial for charges including fraudulent receipt of nursing benefits.
