[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Kyung-jun] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) has transferred the case involving Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon, who was accused of falsifying his child's volunteer activity log, to the police.


According to the PCC on the 13th, the PCC transferred the case, in which the Civic Society for Social Justice (Sasehaeng) accused Minister Han and his spouse of abuse of authority and forgery of private documents, to the Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on the 8th.


The PCC stated, "Regarding the abuse of authority allegation, it is difficult to consider it as falling under the general authority of the Minister of Justice based on the accusation itself. The forgery of private documents, related acts, and obstruction of official duties by deception are not subjects of PCC investigation. Additionally, since the police are already investigating another case filed by a different civic group against the Minister of Justice, the case was transferred to the police."


Sasehaeng stated, "Minister Han exerted undue influence on the head of a local children's center to fabricate that his daughter had completed volunteer activities she did not actually perform," and filed a complaint with the PCC on the 16th of last month.



At that time, MBC's PD Notebook reported that upon reviewing the volunteer log of a local children's center, signatures of Minister Han's daughter were found dated in the future, even before she had arrived.
