The controversy continues as the Justice Department refuses to file a complaint of 13 suspects in the Blue House election intervention case. Attorney General Chumiae said it was wrong practice to disclose the complaint, so he would not submit it. The opposition parties then reacted in unison and asked if the former President Roh Moo-hyun, who had filed his first complaint, ordered an unfair trial and human rights abuses.

Mr. Chumiae said today (15th) that the public disclosure of the complaint is a wrong practice.

[Chi Mi Ae / Attorney General: There was a mistaken practice in which the request for data submission was made in the House of Representatives and the submitted data was immediately disclosed to the press.]

The Justice Department clarified yesterday's decision not to submit to the National Assembly a charge of 13 suspects involved in the Blue House election intervention case.

When asked whether it violates the people's right to know, the Justice Department said it would not submit a complaint to Congress.

Chu also said that some media reports of the Blue House election involvement case will confirm the leak.

The Ministry of Justice has filed a complaint with the National Assembly since 2005 when it was a participatory government in order to ensure the right of citizens to know, and this is the first time it has refused.

The suspicion of the Blue House election intervention is reported to have detailed about 70 pages of suspicions of violations of the 13 Public Election Act, including former chief of the Blue House and former civil secretary Baek Won-woo.

The Justice Department said yesterday that it had to consider the right to a fair trial by the defendant for refusing to file a complaint with Congress.
