It is known that the Board of Audit and Inspection has caught a serious illegality in the course of an audit related to the handling of a case in which an official of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries was shot.
The Board of Audit and Inspection plans to request the prosecution to investigate those involved in possible violations of the law.
Depending on whether former President Moon Jae-in is included in the investigation request, the political situation is expected to fluctuate once again following the promotion of a written investigation by President Moon.
In general, the Board of Audit and Inspection finalizes the audit results after preparing a report after going through a resolution process by the Audit Committee after the completion of the audit.
Nevertheless, it seems that the decision to request an investigation from the prosecution before the audit committee's decision procedure was based on the judgment that the illegal situation caught by the Board of Audit and Inspection was that serious.
At the time of the audit related to the alleged manipulation of the economic evaluation of Wolsong Unit 1 two years ago, the Board of Audit and Inspection confirmed the audit result report and sent over 200 pages of investigation request form and 7,000 pages of reference materials to the prosecution.
Meanwhile, the Board of Audit and Inspection is expected to complete the audit without a separate investigation on former President Moon Jae-in, who is refusing to investigate for reasons such as political burden.
Currently, the prosecution is also investigating the case after receiving complaints from the family of Lee Dae-jun and the National Intelligence Service separately from the audit of the Board of Audit and Inspection.
