[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] It has been confirmed that a police officer who was convicted for leaking an internal investigation report on suspicions of stock manipulation involving Deutsche Motors to the media has received a severe disciplinary action.


According to the police on the 4th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency recently held a disciplinary committee and decided to demote Officer A (32). Demotion is a severe disciplinary action following dismissal and discharge.


Officer A was prosecuted for receiving the internal investigation report mentioning Kim Geon-hee, the wife of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, from a colleague and leaking it to a media reporter. Last month, the first trial suspended a 4-month prison sentence.


Newstapa cited this report and reported that in February 2020, the police investigated Kim Geon-hee in connection with suspicions of Deutsche Motors stock manipulation.



The prosecution appealed the suspended sentence decision.
