Ahn Mi-young, the special prosecutor's team investigating the death of Sergeant Lee Ye-ram, summoned Lee Seong-yong, the chief of staff of the Air Force at the time of the incident, as a witness at 10:20 am today (23rd).
Former President Lee said, "I'm running out of time," to a reporter's question, and then went into the office of the Special Prosecutor's Office in Migeun-dong.
Former Secretary-General Lee was criticized for belatedly reporting the death of Sergeant Lee, a victim of sexual harassment in the Air Force, and related matters when the perpetrator was sent to former Defense Minister Seo Wook.
During the investigation by the military prosecutor's office, it was ordered to review the arrest of the perpetrator's mother-in-law, but there were also suspicions that the Air Force's legal line commander ignored it.
This is the first time that the special prosecutor's team directly investigates the Air Force's leadership.
The special prosecutor's team is expected to check the overall facts related to the investigation into the investigation and the investigation into the poor initial response and the degree of intervention by the Air Force's leadership against former President Lee.
