[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The police have decided not to indict former Roh Moo-hyun Foundation Chairman Yoo Si-min in a case where a civic group accused him of spreading false information.

On the 4th, the Mapo Police Station in Seoul announced that it had decided not to indict former Chairman Yoo, who was accused on the 26th of last month of violating the Public Official Election Act by spreading false information and defamation through the Information and Communications Network Act.

In February, on MBC's 'News Outside,' former Chairman Yoo said about Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, and President Yoon Seok-yeol, "There is a big difference in general intelligence." At the time, Yoo claimed, "Candidate Yoon passed on his 9th attempt when 1,000 people were selected for the Judicial Research and Training Institute, while Candidate Lee passed on his 2nd attempt when 300 people were selected."

In March, the civic group Rule of Law Restoration Action Solidarity filed a complaint against former Chairman Yoo, stating that he had spread unfavorable false information with the intent to prevent Candidate Yoon from being elected.

The police reportedly conducted a written investigation of former Chairman Yoo's side last month.
