Prosecution Requests Bail Revocation for Choi Mo, Mother-in-Law of Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol
[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist] The prosecution has requested the court to revoke the bail of Choi Mo, the mother-in-law of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, on the grounds that she violated the bail condition restricting her residence.
According to the legal community on the 18th, the prosecution submitted a petition to the appellate court handling Choi's case, the Criminal Division 5 of the Seoul High Court (Presiding Judges Yoon Kang-yeol, Park Jae-young, Kim Sang-cheol), on the 6th, requesting the cancellation of Choi's bail.
The prosecution stated that on the 9th of last month, the court granted bail to Choi with the condition that her residence be limited to her home in Hwado-eup, Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, but she violated this condition by traveling to her son's house in Seoul, among other reasons.
The court has not yet made a decision regarding the prosecution's bail cancellation request.
Meanwhile, prior to the prosecution's bail cancellation request, Choi reportedly requested the court on the 5th to change her residence to Seoul, and was notified of approval the following day. It is said that Choi requested the change of residence due to disturbances caused by some YouTubers near her Namyangju home.
