Cho Kuk: "'Gobal Saju' Allegations... Yoon Seok-yeol's Acts of National Disorder Gradually Revealed"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk stated that "there are indications of a serious breach of national order" regarding allegations that the prosecution, during former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's tenure, instructed the prosecution to file complaints against opposition party members on behalf of the ruling coalition.
On the morning of the 10th, Cho appeared at his trial for charges including his children's admission fraud at the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 21-1 (Presiding Judge Ma Seong-yeong) and said, "Although it is belated, evidence is gradually emerging that former Prosecutor General Yoon and the United Future Party, the predecessor of the People Power Party, collaborated in a serious breach of national order by interfering in elections."
He added, "I believe it is necessary to review the complaints that were filed against Moon Jae-in administration officials, including myself. However, I will approach the trial with a more humble attitude."
