Park Beom-gye "Lee Jae-myung Dismissal, Backlash Against Ruthless Prosecution Investigation"

Former Minister of Justice Posts Evaluation of Lee Jae-myung's Dismissal on Facebook

Former Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye evaluated on the 27th, "The arrest warrant for Representative Lee Jae-myung has been dismissed! It is difficult to conclude that there is a concern of evidence destruction requiring the guarantee of the right to defense. Judge Yoo Chang-hoon of the Seoul Central District Court, in charge of warrants, has ensured justice."

Former Minister Park stated, "It is surprising that the reasons for dismissal are stated so clearly," and claimed, "A typhoon of backlash will arise against the reckless prosecution investigation."

Meanwhile, Judge Yoo Chang-hoon, the warrant-specialized chief judge of the Seoul Central District Court, dismissed the arrest warrant requested by the prosecution after conducting a pre-arrest suspect hearing (warrant examination) for Representative Lee on the 27th.

Judge Yoo stated, "Considering the necessity of guaranteeing the suspect's right to defense and the degree of concern for evidence destruction comprehensively, it is difficult to see that there are grounds and necessity for detention to the extent that the principle of non-detention investigation should be excluded for the suspect."
