[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] A construction businessman who assaulted a group of women after an argument at a drinking party has been referred to the prosecution.

On the 26th, Gwangju Dongbu Police Station announced that they had sent construction businessman A (56) to the prosecution on charges of assault for repeatedly attacking a group of women.

A is accused of repeatedly hitting B, a woman in her 40s who was with him, at a pub in Dong-gu on the evening of the 12th, causing her injury.

According to the police investigation, A, who was intoxicated, got into an argument with B during a conversation and resorted to violence.

The police stated that no settlement was reached with the victim, and considering the seriousness of the crime, they applied for an arrest warrant on the 18th. However, the prosecution rejected it, judging that A admitted to the crime and there was no risk of flight.

Meanwhile, at the time of the drinking party, Detective C of the Dongbu Police Station and a businessman who was a former special aide to a member of the National Assembly were present. Despite being a police officer, Detective C faced controversy for insufficient appropriate measures, and the police are conducting an internal investigation.
