Jeong Sunshin Sent to Prosecution for Nonattendance at National Assembly Education Committee... Seven Months After Investigation
Attorney Jeong Sun-shin, who did not attend the National Assembly hearing regarding his son's school violence, was handed over to the prosecution after seven months of investigation.
According to the police on the 8th, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul transferred Attorney Jeong, his wife Jo, and son Jeong to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office at the end of last month on charges of violating the Act on Testimony and Appraisal at the National Assembly (National Assembly Testimony Act). Attorney Song Gae-dong, who was investigated together on the same charges, was not prosecuted as the charges were not recognized.
On March 31, the National Assembly Education Committee requested Attorney Jeong to appear as a witness at the "Hearing for the Investigation of the Truth about Jeong Sun-shin's Child's School Violence and the Establishment of School Violence Countermeasures," but he submitted a letter of absence citing "illness and investigation of a criminal case" and did not appear at the hearing. Attorney Song, who represented the administrative lawsuit to cancel the disciplinary action against Attorney Jeong's son for school violence, also did not appear on the same day.
Due to Attorney Jeong's absence, the hearing was postponed to April 14, but on that day, Attorney Jeong again expressed his intention not to attend, citing illness. Attorney Jeong's wife and son, who were also selected as witnesses, did not attend due to "severe stress." Attorney Song appeared on that day.
