Prosecution Ends Public Inspection of Emergency Appeal by Yoon Seok-yeol's Mother-in-law's Business Partner

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] It has been confirmed that the prosecution did not accept the extraordinary appeal petition filed by a businessman who was in a partnership dispute with the mother-in-law of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.

According to the legal community on the 10th, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office closed the review of the extraordinary appeal petition submitted by Mr. Jeong Dae-taek (72) on August 31.

An extraordinary appeal is a relief procedure requested by the Prosecutor General when a legal violation is discovered after a judgment has been finalized. The prosecution reportedly judged that there was no basis other than the petitioner’s claims, and thus it did not constitute grounds for an extraordinary appeal. The closure of review is a disposition by which the prosecution terminates the investigation of a petition that contests a trial.

Mr. Jeong is known to have filed the extraordinary appeal petition in April this year in protest after being sentenced to two years in prison for attempted fraud during an investment dispute with Mr. Choi, and one year in prison for falsely accusing Mr. Choi.

The Eastern District Prosecutors' Office received the petition from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in May and reviewed it. Mr. Jeong reportedly submitted another petition last month in objection to the closure of review.
