The first trial will be made tomorrow (15th) on former and current maritime police officials, including former Maritime Police Commissioner Kim Seok-gyun, who was handed over to trial for having killed a passenger for not taking proper initial measures during the Sewol ferry disaster.
The Seoul Central District Court is scheduled to proceed with a sentence tomorrow against Commissioner Kim Jeon, etc., who have been charged with manslaughter in business.
During the April 16, 2014 disaster of the Sewol ferry disaster, former Commissioner Kim and others are accused of killing 304 people and injuring 142 people for failing to fulfill the duty of care necessary for rescue.
The'Sewol Ferry Disaster Special Investigation Team' under the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in charge of the investigation violates the duty of caution in the work that Commissioner Kim and others must understand the situation of the Sewol ferry site and command and control it to promptly evacuate and save lives by directing the ship to enter the hull. I thought I did.
Commissioner Kim and others are claiming innocence, saying, "I apologize to the bereaved family," and "there can't be a correct answer to the rescue and relief of all disaster sites."
