[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The campaign of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate from the People Power Party and former Prosecutor General, announced on the 15th that it has additionally reported Park Ji-won, the Director of the National Intelligence Service, to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials on charges of 'violating the National Intelligence Service Act and the Public Official Election Act.'


The campaign stated, "Through multiple interviews yesterday, Director Park made statements implying that candidate Yoon was improperly involved in the case of former Yongsan Tax Office chief Yoon Woo-jin, thereby unfairly interfering in the People Power Party primary process," adding, "He violated the political neutrality obligation of the NIS Director and interfered in the election by spreading false information."



Furthermore, the campaign urged President Moon Jae-in to immediately dismiss Director Park and called on the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials to promptly conduct forced investigations such as raids and seizures.
