Former defendant of the country, who was brought to court for family corruption and prosecution, was the first defendant to appear in court.

"I will fight tirelessly," said former Minister Cho.

He added, "After the inauguration of the Attorney General, it was difficult for the prosecution to investigate the low-profile, and nevertheless, I regret it."

The 21st Criminal Agreement of Seoul Central District Court (Deputy Judge Kim Mi-ri) today (8th) opens the first trial of former Minister Cho, charged with bribery and interference with the right to abuse abuses.

Former Secretary of State Cho was absent on the two-day trial preparation day, but today he is a full trial.

Today, the trial will be held first, with a hearing on the suspicion of the prosecution.

Accordingly, three defendants are present in court, including former secretary Cho Won-woo and former secretary-general of the Blue House.

After hearing the charges and the accused's claims in the morning, the court plans to call Lee In-geol, the former chief of special affairs at the Blue House, as a witness.

In the case of the prosecution Muma case, in 2017, the special prosecutor's office at the Blue House's Civil Affairs Office, Jung Jae-soo, confirmed that he was accused of serious misconduct during the prosecution process by the Mayor of the Busan Metropolitan City Department of Economic Affairs.

The prosecution ordered the suspension of inspections by former Minister of Deputy General Cho In-geol after receiving reports from the former deputy deputy general manager Lee In-geol that the follow-up was inevitable because the charges against the deputy mayor were substantial. The indictment was reported to the chief of the chief of the superintendent and the class members.

Since the former chief of command is a witness who is in an important position to confirm the reality of the suspicion, it is expected that the prosecutors and lawyers will continue to have persistent questions and defenses from the first day of trial.
