[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Cho Seong-eun, the "whistleblower" who reported the 'accusation inducement' suspicion, expressed frustration over the sluggish investigation by the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (PCA).

On the 13th, Cho criticized on her social media (SNS) account, saying, "The PCA is not properly investigating a single case and is only conducting half-hearted investigations."

She questioned, "Isn't it wrong that they are neither properly investigating the case of Han Dong-hoon (Chief Prosecutor)'s obstruction of inspection and investigation nor the National Prosecutors' Office's organized election interference case during Yoon Seok-yeol's (People Power Party presidential candidate, former Prosecutor General) tenure, but instead are poking around various other cases in a haphazard manner?" She pointed out, "In the judge surveillance document case, Prosecutor Son Jun-sung is not the instigator but the person who received instructions from the suspect, candidate Yoon. Therefore, at least regarding Prosecutor Son, this case is not under the PCA's jurisdiction."

Furthermore, she asked, "Are we welcoming the new year without even investigating the process of drafting the accusation documents related to the accusation inducement?" She questioned, "If half of the cases are left unresolved due to hesitation and the investigation is a mess, or if the PCA ends up becoming an institution that grants them a pardon without properly conducting an investigation, and if they proceed with a poor half-hearted investigation leading to charges that would naturally result in acquittal, is the PCA truly suitable as an institution for public interest reporting?"

Cho stated, "At least the content reported to the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office revealed involvement of an active prosecutor," and sarcastically added, "What has the PCA done? Will we suddenly see a competent PCA when the regime changes and Han Dong-hoon, rumored to be capable, becomes the PCA chief?"
