Prosecutor's Office: "No Leakage of the Suspicious Client Accusation Letter"

[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] The Supreme Prosecutors' Office has immediately denied the leak of the complaint related to the 'sponsor suspicion' involving former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's side.

On the 17th, the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office stated in a press release sent to reporters, "Regarding the suspicion of leaking the complaint to a specific media outlet, the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office has not leaked the complaint at all."

The previous day, Yoon's side mentioned a certain media outlet and said, "They claimed to have obtained the complaint image file on the 5th, but the entities holding the complaint file at that time were Cho (the whistleblower Cho Seong-eun) and the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office," adding, "Since Cho denies providing it, suspicion inevitably falls on the Inspection Department," in a statement.

In fact, Cho has shown a position that she did not provide it to any media other than Newsbus and only submitted it to investigative agencies such as the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (Gong-su-cheo).

Meanwhile, this complaint sponsorship suspicion began when Telegram messages appeared showing that Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, received complaints about ruling party figures from Son Joon-sung, then the Policy Officer of Investigation Information at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, on April 3 and 8 last year, and apparently delivered them to the party.
