[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] An active prosecutor investigator posted a message on the internal network demanding the resignation of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.
According to the legal community on the 7th, Mr. A, a deputy prosecutor (Grade 4) at Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, mentioned suspicions involving Prosecutor General Yoon's mother-in-law Choi (74) and wife Kim Geon-hee on the prosecution's internal network Epros, urging the resignation of Prosecutor General Yoon.
He wrote, "In a situation where the Prosecutor General's mother-in-law and wife are under suspicion, whoever conducts the investigation, it is as if the Prosecutor General himself is being investigated," and added, "Given that the Prosecutor General and his family are under suspicion, I believe it is appropriate for him to step down from his position for the sake of our organization, some junior prosecutors whom the Prosecutor General loves, the country, and his family."
The prosecution has not issued any particular statement regarding Mr. A's post, and Mr. A deleted the post after controversy arose within the prosecution due to his message.
