[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The Financial Victims Solidarity and the Anti-Plunder Economy Action have reported a current prosecutor to the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Department (Gong-su-cheo) for providing inappropriate favors to inmates.
On the 16th, these organizations held a press conference in front of the Government Gwacheon Complex, stating, "Kim Seong-hoon, CEO of IDS Holdings, who committed a fraud worth over 1 trillion won and was detained in a detention center, communicated with external accomplices to destroy evidence and conceal criminal proceeds," and "At that time, Prosecutor Kim from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office provided conveniences that allowed additional crimes to occur."
Previously, the Financial Victims Solidarity submitted a petition containing related suspicions to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, claiming that Prosecutor Kim repeatedly summoned CEO Kim and others to his office under the condition of receiving criminal investigation information, leaving them to meet or contact accomplices. The charges include abuse of authority, obstruction of rights, and dereliction of duty.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office is expected to decide whether to request disciplinary action against Prosecutor Kim from the Ministry of Justice.
