Cho Joo-bin, who was sent to the prosecution, was imprisoned in the detention room of the Seoul Detention Center shortly after a video interview with the human rights inspector, the department's prosecutor.

Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol instructed the case to be "anti-civil crimes," and said, "Focus all the prosecution's capabilities in the investigation."

The Seoul Metropolitan Prosecutors' Office, which started the investigation, announced that it would form a 'Special Investigation TF for Digital Sex Crimes'.

This TF was conducted by four prosecutors, and four departments, including the Women's Children's Crime Investigation Division, the Violence Division, and Crime Revenue, and 21 prosecutors and investigators.

The Special Investigation TF decided to track Mr. Cho's crimes and uncovered criminal proceeds and investigate if there was another 'n-bang' incident.

I am also interested in applying the crime of organizing a crime group that the Ministry of Justice has said it will review to Mr. Cho.

It is a case of organized crime with a command and control system, but it is applied to the operation of voice phishing and illegal gambling sites.

According to the legal profession, Mr. Cho called a key member 'employee' and ordered the crime, so there is room for criminal formation.

He said that if a crime group organized crime is applied, it can be punished by simply joining it as a paid member, and the prosecution will respond strictly to punishing even simple participants.

In the midst of this, Mr. Cho's lawyer filed his resignation, saying he thought it was a simple sexual offense.
