Prosecutors Dismiss False Accusation Charges Against Former Ourhome Vice Chairman Koo Bon-sung
Former Vice Chairman Falsely Reported 'Detention and Sexual Assault of Female Employee at Ourhome Headquarters'
At the Time When Management Rights Passed to Younger Brother Due to Conviction for Retaliatory Driving... Prosecutors Say "Insufficient Evidence of False Accusation"
[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Kyung-jun] The prosecution has cleared former Vice Chairman Gu Bon-seong (65) of false reporting charges related to an executive on the side of his younger sister Gu Ji-eun, Ourhome Vice Chairman, amid their management rights dispute.
According to the legal community on the 11th, the Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kang Beom-gu) ruled on the 9th that there was insufficient evidence to prove Gu's false accusation and issued a 'no charges' disposition.
Gu was accused of falsely reporting in June last year that "Mr. A was detaining and sexually assaulting a female employee inside the Ourhome headquarters building in Gangseo-gu." At the time, the police investigated Mr. A and the female employee identified as the victim, concluded it was a false report, and referred Gu to the prosecution on charges of false accusation.
The timing of Gu's false accusation coincided with when he was sentenced in the first trial to six months in prison with a two-year probation for retaliatory driving that damaged another vehicle and hitting the driver after getting off, leading to his dismissal from the CEO position and his younger sister's appointment as CEO.
