[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) summoned Lim Eun-jung, the Ministry of Justice's Inspection Officer, as a witness on the 8th to investigate allegations that former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol obstructed the investigation into the case of former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook's false testimony coercion.

The PCC's Investigation Division 3 (Chief Prosecutor Choi Seok-gyu) plans to summon Inspector Lim to the PCC office at the Government Complex Gwacheon in the morning to verify the facts related to former Prosecutor General Yoon's charges.

The PCC is expected to verify specific facts such as the process of job exclusion based on inspection materials secured through a search and seizure of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office at the end of July.

Former Prosecutor General Yoon was booked on June 4 on charges of abuse of authority and obstruction of the exercise of rights for excluding Inspector Lim from investigative duties and deciding not to prosecute in connection with the case of former Prime Minister Han's false testimony coercion.

The case of former Prime Minister Han's false testimony coercion involved allegations that the prosecution investigation team induced witnesses to give false testimony during the trial of her violation of the Political Funds Act, which was dismissed without prosecution in March.
