The High Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency (Public Investigation Agency) announced today (13th) that it would file a request for correction and counter-argument to the Media Arbitration Committee, saying that the media report that the so-called 'accusation' was assigned to a prosecutor who was an aide to a member of the ruling party was not true.
The Ministry of Public Security refuted, "This case was assigned to Chief Prosecutor Choi Seok-gyu of the 3rd Investigation Division on the 9th, and the chief prosecutor was Chief Prosecutor Choi."
Earlier, the Chosun Ilbo reported today to the effect that there is a controversy over the biased investigation based on the fact that prosecutor Kim, who was a former aide to Pyo Chang-won of the Democratic Party of Korea, had a history of acting as a lawyer in cases involving passports.
The Ministry of Airborne Affairs responded, "It is regrettable that there are concerns about the investigation that is politically biased, as it distorts the investigation of the Airborne Service, which pursues political independence and neutrality, and undermines the will of the investigation."
Regarding the report of the Ministry of Airborne Affairs, 'the Ministry of Airborne Affairs has unusually disclosed the fact that former President Yoon has been arrested as a suspect,' it also said, "It was first known when Rep. He said it was not true.
