Airborne Service has requested the prosecution to hand over former NIS Director Park Ji-won to trial.

Prior to last year's People's Power presidential primary, former president Park was accused of meddling in the election by disseminating false information.

Under the current law, the Airborne Service can investigate the head of the National Intelligence Service, but has no authority to prosecute.

On September 2, last year, when the People's Power presidential election was in full swing, the Internet media News Bus first reported the allegations of indictment by an incumbent prosecutor.



Jo Seong-eun was the informant, but prior to the report, it became known that Cho had met Park Ji-won, then head of the National Intelligence Service, separately, and the so-called 'investigation of the report' controversy spread.



Former President Park denies the allegations and has targeted Yoon Seok-yeol, the then-primary candidate, through several interviews.



Candidate Yoon influenced the case of Yun Woo-jin, former head of the tax office, and it was said that he had the relevant data.



He accused former president Park, saying that the power of the people is interference in the election.



The agency, which has been investigating for more than eight months, concluded that former president Park intervened in the election by disseminating false information, and demanded the prosecution to indict him on charges of violating the election law.



This is a measure taken because the head of the National Intelligence Service has the power to investigate but not the right to prosecute.



It is known that former Director Park, who received a written investigation, did not provide any data to support his remarks.



The Ministry of Airborne Affairs dismissed the allegation that there was no evidence that it was conspiracy, such as giving guidelines to Jo Seong-eun's media reports.



In a recent radio interview, former Director Park also provoked opposition from the National Intelligence Service by saying, in a radio interview, that data about the lives of politicians, businessmen, and journalists, and X-files, were kept for 60 years.

There is something 'something' with some celebrity.] The



Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, which took over the case of the Airborne Service, is planning to issue a final disposition after reviewing whether or not to indict Park.
