[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] A solo protester, Mr. A, who was arrested on the spot for threatening former President Moon Jae-in and his wife and secretariat staff with a weapon, has filed a countersuit against the former president and his wife.

According to Yangsan Police Station on the 22nd, Mr. A, in his 60s, who was arrested by the police on charges of special threats, requested paper and writing tools from the police officers in the detention center and submitted a complaint. It is known that Mr. A wrote and submitted to the police statements such as "Former President Moon is ○○," and "Mrs. Kim Jung-sook insulted me." He also filed a complaint against the detention center management police, stating that "I was eating bread in the detention center when a police officer demanded it."

Mr. A has submitted 3 to 4 complaints so far and is expected to continue filing complaints.

A police official stated, "An investigation of the complainant is necessary regarding the contents of the complaint submitted by Mr. A, but he refuses to meet with the police."

Earlier, on the 15th, Mr. A shouted at former President Moon and his wife, who were out for a walk with security guards, saying, "How dare you come crawling out without fear," and was sued for threats by Mrs. Kim Jung-sook, who visited Yangsan Police Station that night. On the 16th, he was arrested on the spot on charges of threatening another person with a cutter knife while preparing for a solo protest in front of the presidential residence.

The Presidential Security Service expanded the existing security zone, which was up to the fence of the residence, to a maximum of 300 meters from the fence on the 21st to protect former President Moon’s family and residents from threats by protesters and demonstrators.
