On November 6 last year, a month before the appointment of Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu.
After getting in a cab, drunk, the vice-minister assaulted the taxi driver A, who told him to get home and get off.
Two days later, Vice Minister Lee apologized to Mr. A, and the police closed the case, saying that Mr. A did not want punishment.
In particular, it revealed that there is a limit to understanding the situation as the video in the taxi black box has been erased.
However, as a taxi was in operation at the time of the assault, the prosecution had to investigate whether or not to be punished separately from the doctor A, and when a complaint was filed asking to investigate the police insolvency investigation.
The prosecution, who was trying to determine the substance of the case, recently obtained a video of the situation at the time, which was confirmed as a result of the SBS interview.
Immediately after the incident, Mr. A recorded a video of the black box on his mobile phone, and after receiving an apology from Lee, he deleted it, and the prosecution received this mobile phone and restored it.
It is known that the video clearly contains the situation at the time of the assault by Vice Minister Lee.
It is known that the prosecution recently summoned Mr. A to check the restored video and reconstructed the situation at the time.
It is reported that Mr. A stated that he was applying the brakes while the transmission was not parked at the time of the assault, but was in driving mode D.
The prosecution is said to be conducting an investigation into the loan sooner or later.
Along with this, the prosecution plans to investigate whether there was any external pressure in the police investigation process, which ended internal affairs without filing the Vice Minister Lee saying that the video could not be obtained at the time of the incident.
