[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The police have requested an arrest warrant for Kang Jin-gu, the representative of the citizen media outlet The Tamza, on charges including tracking Han Dong-hoon, the Minister of Justice.


On the 16th, the Seoul Seocho Police Station announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant against Kang on charges of defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and violation of the Stalking Punishment Act.


Last September, Kang was accused of stalking Minister Han and was sued by him for stalking. Additionally, Kang was further reported for defamation after raising suspicions on his YouTube channel that President Yoon Seok-yeol and lawyers from a major law firm had a late-night drinking party together.



Meanwhile, the police had previously applied for an arrest warrant against Kang in December last year for unlawfully entering Minister Han's apartment, but the court dismissed the request.
