Colonel Park was booked by the military prosecution on the 2nd of last month on charges of disobeying the Minister of National Defense's order not to transfer the investigation results related to a Marine who died in the rapid current while searching for missing persons during the heavy rains last summer to the police and to withhold the case.

Subsequently, the military prosecution requested an arrest warrant for Colonel Park on the 30th of last month, but it was dismissed.

Meanwhile, Colonel Park filed a complaint against Kim Dong-hyeok, head of the Ministry of National Defense Prosecution Unit, and Yoo Jae-eun, legal affairs officer of the Ministry of National Defense, on charges of abuse of authority and obstruction of the exercise of rights, and appeared twice as a witness before the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) on the 8th and 14th for investigation.
