‘Violation of Consignment Election Law’ Seo Cheol-mo, Mayor of Daejeon Seo-gu, Heads to Court
Seo Cheol-mo, the mayor of Seo District in Daejeon, is set to stand trial on charges of violating the Entrusted Election Act.
The Criminal Division 4 of the Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Tae-hoon) announced on the 20th that Seo was indicted without detention on charges of violating the Act on Entrusted Elections of Public Organizations.
Seo is accused of urging candidate Kim Kyung-si to withdraw during the election for the president of the Daejeon Seo District Sports Council last December.
On the same charges, the Daejeon Election Commission reported Seo to the police, which triggered a full-scale investigation. Earlier this year, the police conducted a search and seizure at the Seo District Mayor's Office in Daejeon and secured Seo's mobile phone and other items.
Currently, the prosecution believes that Seo expressed an intention to offer a specific position to candidate Kim while urging him not to run in the Sports Council president election.
