"A man in his 50s who falsely reported 'Spouse stabbed with a weapon' has been prosecuted"

A man in his 50s was indicted for falsely reporting that a woman in a common-law relationship had stabbed him with a weapon.

Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office.

On the 30th, the Women's and Children's Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Gumiok) announced that on the 26th, they had indicted Choi Mo (55) without detention on charges of false accusation.

In early April, Choi falsely reported to 112 that A (58) had stabbed him with a weapon after stabbing his own abdomen at his home in Nowon-gu, Seoul. The police arrested A on the spot on charges of special injury and applied for an arrest warrant, but it was dismissed by the prosecution.

The prosecution conducted supplementary investigations based on the results from the National Forensic Service, which found only Choi's fingerprints on the weapon used in the incident. It was reported that Choi denied the charges during the prosecution's investigation.

The prosecution stated, "We will continue to respond strictly to false accusation offenders who undermine judicial order."
