Minister Park said, "It is a matter of principle," saying, "The indictment must not be disclosed before the first trial."
Former Minister Choo accused Lee, who was charged with obstructing the investigation of Kim Hak-e's illegal departure from the country in May, as "personality murder" when the indictment of the chief prosecutor was reported before the first trial began.
