Ahead of the Arrest Approval Vote... Yoon Gwan-seok Says "Prosecutor's Warrant Request Is Unfair"

On the 12th, as the National Assembly is scheduled to vote on the arrest consent bills for independent lawmakers Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man, who left the Democratic Party of Korea amid the 2021 party convention cash envelope scandal, Lawmaker Yoon raised his voice, stating that "the prosecution's warrant request is unjust."

On the same day, Yoon said through his social media (SNS), "It is a flawed warrant that does not even meet the minimum legal requirements."

The National Assembly will proceed with the vote on the arrest consent bills for Lawmakers Yoon and Lee. Previously, the Ministry of Justice submitted the arrest consent bills for the two lawmakers to the National Assembly on the 26th of last month, and the bills were reported to the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 30th.

He raised his voice, saying, "This is merely a politically motivated, fabricated investigation by the prosecution for the general election," and added, "The only evidence, the recorded file, has lost its evidentiary value as the person recorded has filed a complaint against the prosecutor in question, making it a subject of investigation by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials. In short, it has lost its evidentiary power."

He continued, "If there is a problem, I will take responsibility. However, I will stand firm against the prosecution's unjust investigation," and said, "I will definitely overcome the wrongful accusations and clarify the facts, as well as the prosecution's outrageous political oppression and oppression of the opposition party."
