Prosecutor Im also posted on the internal network, saying that he had left the investigation team because his dispatch was lifted two months before this high prosecutor's indictment was written. claimed.



In response, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security also issued a statement of opposition.



The Ministry of Public Security said that it was investigating everyone involved in the leak of the indictment, and denied that the prosecution's allegations of targeted investigation were not true.
