[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Amid allegations of 'prosecution referral manipulation,' with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's side claiming it was a plot by Chu Mi-ae's faction, broadcaster Kim Eo-jun pointed out, "I want to scout the writer who created this scenario for the News Factory."

On the 7th, Kim said on TBS Traffic Broadcasting's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' "Yoon Seok-yeol's camp has completely denied the prosecution referral manipulation allegations, claiming it was a rare political plot by former Minister Chu, and if a referral was necessary, it would have been delivered directly to the legal officer, not to political newcomer candidate Kim Woong," he said.

The 'prosecution referral manipulation' allegation against former Prosecutor General Yoon refers to the claim that on April 3 last year, Son Joon-sung, the Human Rights Protection Officer at Daegu High Prosecutors' Office (then the Investigation Information Policy Officer at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office), delivered a referral letter specifying the target of the referral to the United Future Party (now the People Power Party), asking them to "prosecute on his behalf." Former Prosecutor General Yoon, Prosecutor Son, and People Power Party lawmaker Kim Woong have all completely denied the allegations.

Kim said, "The claim that it was a political plot by Chu Mi-ae's faction (from Yoon's side) is not convincing." He added, "It is true that Prosecutor Son denies it and there is no evidence that it was ordered by candidate Yoon. (If so,) is Prosecutor Son a spy that former Minister Chu had previously infiltrated into the prosecution? Is this like the Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs, the Korean movie New World, or the American movie The Departed?" he criticized.

On the previous day's broadcast, when Yoon's camp spokesperson Yoon Hee-seok mentioned, "There is a sufficient possibility that it was a political plot by Chu Mi-ae's faction," Kim rebutted, "News Bus said the initial whistleblower was an insider from the People Power Party. If it were a political plot by Chu Mi-ae's faction, shouldn't the ruling party be the ones talking about it?"

He continued, "If only then-Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and Prosecutor General Han Dong-hoon were involved, it might be said to have come from the prosecution's loyalty, but the wife is involved," and pointed out, "If (the allegations) are true, it means the prosecution organization moved for the sake of the general and his wife, which is very serious."
