Board of Audit and Inspection to Launch Audit on the 23rd over Allegations of Deliberate THAAD Delay by Moon Administration

The Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) will begin an audit next week regarding suspicions that the Moon Jae-in administration deliberately delayed the normalization of the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) base.

On the 20th, the BAI announced, "Regarding the 'Public Interest Audit Request on the Obstruction and Delay of Normal Operation of the THAAD Base,' we plan to start an on-site audit from the 23rd targeting 11 agencies, including the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

In this audit, the BAI stated it will inspect issues raised in the public interest audit request, including ▲delays in forming the Environmental Impact Assessment Council ▲avoidance of public disclosure of measurement results related to electromagnetic waves and low-frequency noise ▲suspicions of destruction of related documents.

However, regarding the part of the request related to the substance of the '3 Bul (不) 1 Han (限)' agreement with China, the BAI added, "Since this pertains to diplomatic negotiations and outcomes as policy decisions, it has been decided not to conduct an audit."

Earlier, the Daehanminguk Suho Reserve Generals Group (Daesujang) had filed a public interest audit request with the BAI at the end of July concerning the previous administration's Blue House and Ministry of National Defense.
