While it became known that the High Commissioner's Office for Crime Investigation had begun an investigation into former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, Yoon's side did not take any position.
In a message sent to the press, Sohn Kyung-sik, a lawyer for Yoon's side, said, "I have no position to disclose in particular about the accusation of the Airborne Service."
Previously, the Ministry of Airlift and Public Security had charged former President Yoon Han-sook for impeding investigation into the Optimus Fund fraud case and obstructing the investigation and prosecution of prosecutors suspected of being falsely accused of perjury by former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook.
