Attorney Han Dong-hoon criticized former Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, saying, "I am sorry for making false claims that distort the facts to suit my taste every time."
Prosecutor Han issued a statement today (23rd) and said, "My testimony in court was about the second seizure and search of the charges of self-righteous assault on July 29 of last year."
He added, "Last year, with former Minister Choo's initiation of the investigation and command authority on July 2nd and remarks at the National Assembly, it was recognized as a political frame investigation, and he felt the need to exercise the right to defend.
This is a contradiction to Minister Choo's statement on social media yesterday that "the approval and proceedings of the investigation took place before the initiation of the Minister's command" in relation to the court testimony of a prosecutor.
Minister Chu said, "I commanded the investigation (to President Yoon Seok-yeol) on July 2 of last year, after a warrant for confiscation of mobile phones against Han Dong-hoon was issued and executed." "The central district prosecutors' investigation team was made with independent judgment based on the evidence and the law," he argued.
He added, "The content of (investigation command) was only to keep the promise that the president had decided to withdraw from the investigation, but it was not an instruction to do the investigation."
Prosecutor Han appeared as a witness at the trial of Deputy Prosecutor Jeong Jin-woong, Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office, who was accused of assaulting him during the seizure and search process on the 21st. There was no".
“The minister initiated the investigation and command authority for the second time in history, and I was relegated to the Legal Affairs Training Institute for the second time in history, and I was insultedly relegated to the Legal Affairs Training Institute. It was difficult to do."
