The High Commissioner's Crime Investigation Office summoned and investigated the Seoul Superintendent of Education Cho Hee-yeon, who was accused of unfairly hiring a dismissed teacher.
Superintendent Cho showed up outside the Gwacheon Government Complex Airlift Service building after completing the suspect's interrogation at around 7:30 pm today (27th).
It has been 10 hours and 30 minutes since the start of the investigation at 9 am earlier.
Superintendent Cho said to reporters who were waiting, "I worked diligently on the investigation of the Airborne Service all day." He said, "I have called out everything I can personally explain."
He continued, "In many public institutions, special recruitment is routinely performed. Considering this situation, I hope that the Public Service Agency, which was born against the background of the public's aspiration for prosecutorial reform, will make a macroscopically balanced judgment."
Superintendent Cho responded to the question of additional subpoenas, saying, "I will faithfully respond whenever necessary."
Regarding the allegation that Superintendent Cho denies the allegations, the lawyer said, "It is not a denial because it is not true, it is not a denial." said.
When asked if the possibility of prosecution is high because it is the 'No. 1 investigation' of the Airborne Service, "The Airborne Service does not seem to give special meaning and I think it will be different from the Special Prosecutor's Office""I do not think that the initiation of an investigation presupposes an unconditional prosecution," he said.
