The court ruled that the state inflicted irreparable damage to innocent citizens through an illegal investigation, and that the state pays 1.39 billion won to Choi and 300 million won to family members.



In particular, the police who committed harsh acts in investigating Mr. Choi and the prosecutor who led the investigation were also forced to bear 20% of the compensation.
