Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won is accused of distorting the interview report with Yoon Joong-cheon, a key figure in the suspicion of sexual entertainment at the villa, and leaking it to a specific media.



It was originally investigated by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, but in March, it was relocated to the airlift.



After two months of concubine, the Ministry of Public Service summoned Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won as a suspect today (25th).



This is the first time that an incumbent prosecutor has been summoned in a case where the airlift has given an official number.



Prosecutor Gyu-won Lee is being investigated by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office for the same content, and is already being tried on charges of illegal departure from former Deputy Justice Kim Hak-in in 2019.



The Ministry of Public Affairs also initiated a full-scale investigation into the suspicion of the leak of the prosecution by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, Lee Seong-yoon.



The 2021 deduction 4 case number has been assigned and the accuser has been investigated.



In the midst of this, Justice Minister Park Beom-gye pressed the prosecution to reveal the details of the leak.



[Park Beom-gye/Minister of Justice: (Prosecutor Seong-yoon Lee) We emphasize on a daily basis to check the truth of the leak.]



The general analysis of the legal community is that if the leaked person is identified as an incumbent prosecutor, the case must be transferred to the airlift.



However, there are many opinions that it is not easy to apply the crime of secret leakage for public affairs, not only within the prosecution but also inside the airlift, so it is known that the airlift will be questioning whether or not it violates the Prosecutor's Criminal Justice Information System Management Act.
