Corruption Investigation Office investigates complainant in 'Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Alleged Report Solicitation' case

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) conducted an accuser investigation related to the 'Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Alleged Report Manipulation' case.

According to the legal community on the 19th, the PCC summoned Kim Han-me, the representative of the Citizens' Action for Judicial Justice (Sasehaeng), in the afternoon and is conducting an accuser investigation.

Earlier, on the 15th of last month, Sasehaeng filed a complaint with the PCC accusing Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, and Choi Jae-hyung, former head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, of abusing their authority and obstructing the exercise of rights, alleging their involvement in manipulating the economic feasibility evaluation of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 last year.

Before the investigation, Representative Kim told reporters that the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant case might have involved prosecution intervention, similar to the 'alleged report manipulation.' Kim said, "Choi Jae-hyung of the Board of Audit and Inspection and Yoon Seok-yeol of the prosecution are practically one entity," adding, "The People Power Party's complaint was filed just two days after the Board of Audit and Inspection announced its results on October 20 last year, and the prosecution conducted a search and seizure within two weeks."

Meanwhile, on the same day, Sasehaeng, together with Jeong Dae-taek and others referred to as the 'victims of the mother-in-law case' appearing in the prosecution's response documents to Yoon's mother-in-law case, filed a complaint against candidate Yoon for abuse of authority, obstruction of the exercise of rights, official secrets leakage, and violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.
