Two years ago, the family of a public official who was killed by a North Korean gunshot in the West Sea has filed a complaint with the prosecution against members of the Blue House of the Moon Jae-in government.

The Ministry of National Defense changed the statement about the murder of a public official in the West Sea that it was impossible to prove voluntarily defecting to North Korea. 



He said that there was a guidance from the Blue House in announcing that the North Korean military had 'confirmed' the 'atrocities' of burning the body two years ago, and then revised and announced that the incineration of the body was 'presumed' three days later.

Security materials that will answer the question are expected to be identified during the prosecution's investigation process. 



Prosecutors are expected to start a full-scale investigation when the midterm executive recruitment is completed early next month.
