The prosecution decided to suspend the execution of the former governor of Chungnam-do, Ahn Hee-jeong, who received his mother's award on the 4th. Governor Ahn is scheduled to be released from Gwangju Prison in prison on the morning of the 6th.

According to the legal community on the 5th, the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office accepted an application for suspension of execution by the former governor Ahn. The period is until 9 pm on the 9th.

Under the Criminal Procedure Act, the requirements for the suspension of execution of prison sentences are ▲ when prisoners are concerned about harming their health or preserving life ▲ when they are 70 years of age or older ▲ after 6 months of pregnancy ▲ within 60 days of delivery ▲ within 60 days after birth ▲ seriously ill When there are no other relatives to protect due to disability, etc. ▲ When there are no other relatives to protect the lineage as a child ▲ When there are other important reasons.

Governor Ahn is said to have been sentenced to execution for'other serious reasons'.

The Ministry of Justice was initially considering a special return from Governor An. Returning home is a system in which a sentenced prisoner returns to a prison facility after going out after taking a certain period of vacation.

However, as the correctional authorities are currently restricting external contacts of prisoners to prevent the introduction of new coronavirus infections (corona 19), it was unclear whether the safety governor would return home.

When the prosecution approved the execution of the sentence prior to the decision of the Ministry of Justice, Governor Ahn was able to inquire about his mother's vacancy in the funeral hall of Seoul National University Hospital.

Governor Ahn was handed over to the court on charges of sexual assault and molestation by Kim Ji-eun, who served as his secretary, and was sentenced to three years and six months in the Supreme Court in September last year.
