[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who returned to duty on the 24th following the court's decision to suspend the execution of his 'suspension order,' will report on overall work matters on Christmas Day, the 25th, after being absent since receiving the suspension order on the 16th.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office stated, "Prosecutor General Yoon is scheduled to arrive at work at 1 p.m. on the 25th to receive reports on work during his absence from the Deputy Prosecutor General and the Secretary General."
It added, "He also plans to come to work at 2 p.m. on the 26th to receive related work reports from the Deputy Prosecutor General, Secretary General, Head of Policy Planning Division, Criminal Policy Officer, and Head of Operations Support Division, and to handle work accordingly."
