The Corruption Investigation Office Assigns Case to Investigation Division 1 Regarding 'Presidential Office Private Hiring Controversy' Complaint

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) has assigned the case filed regarding the controversy over the 'private recruitment' involving President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife to Investigation Division 1 (Acting Chief Prosecutor Lee Daehwan).

On the 26th, a PCC official announced the case assignment results during a regular briefing held at the Government Complex Gwacheon.

Earlier, on the 20th, the Citizens' Action for Judicial Justice (Sasehaeng) filed a complaint with the PCC against President Yoon, his wife Kim Geon-hee, People Power Party floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, Presidential Secretary Kim Dae-gi, Presidential Personnel Secretary Lee Won-mo, and Chief Secretary Yoon Jae-soon, accusing them of abuse of authority, violation of the State Public Officials Act, violation of the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, and violation of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.

Recently, allegations of improper recruitment have been raised one after another, including reports that the father of administrative officer Woo Mo, who works in the Social Affairs Office of the Presidential Office, has had a long-standing relationship with President Yoon. Sasehaeng claims this to be an 'abuse of personnel authority.'
