Over the past two and a half months, the Board of Audit and Inspection conducted an intensive investigation into the shooting of a public official in the West Sea in three main areas.

The entire process of reporting to the Blue House in 2020, allegations of deletion of intelligence reports from former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won, and suspicions of blocking confidentiality by the Ministry of National Defense, etc.

Accordingly, on the 28th of last month, it was attempted to deliver the questionnaire after receiving the approval of the Chief Audit Officer Choi Jae-hae, but former President Moon expressed his refusal.

The Board of Audit and Inspection also emphasized that there has already been a precedent for sending a questionnaire to a former president in the name of the Board of Audit and Inspection for the sake of substantive truth.

In the course of auditing the Yulgok project for the introduction of weapons such as fighter jets, former President Roh Tae-woo, and former President Kim Young-sam during the foreign exchange crisis audit received and answered questionnaires, and former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye refused to receive the questionnaire

It seems that he was trying to emphasize that this was not the first time, conscious of the reaction of former President Moon Jae-in that he was very rude.

This audit, which was conducted simultaneously for 9 agencies including the Blue House National Security Office and the National Intelligence Service, is scheduled to be completed on the 14th after being extended twice.

The Board of Audit and Inspection announced that it would request an investigation at the end of the audit on those who were found to have serious violations, and that the results would be disclosed in detail.
