The prosecution is seizing and searching the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy and the headquarters of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power in connection with the indictment of ‘Wolfsong Unit 1 suspected of manipulating economic viability’. We’ll connect reporters to learn more Reporter Lee Moon-seok! The seizure and search by the prosecution is taking place in full swing. There was a lot of controversy in the political world, but has the prosecution finally launched an investigation? Since the morning, the prosecution has seized and searched the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy and the headquarters of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power in Gyeongbuk. This means that the investigation into the charge of “suspected tampering with the economic viability assessment of Wolfong Unit 1” has started in earnest. Daejeon Prosecutor’s Office dispatches prosecutors and investigators to protect related computer documents and files. In June 2018, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power closed ‘Wolseong Unit 1’ prematurely due to poor economic viability. However, as the opposition party raised the issue of “validity”, the National Assembly requested a judgment from the Audit Office. Just before the audit, officials from the Industry Ministry removed around 400 related materials. The Board of Audit and Inspection conducted an investigation for the longest 13 months in history and announced the audit results that economic viability was assessed too low. On this basis, the government has indicted the prosecution of 12 people, including former Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister Baek Woon-gyu, saying that the government decided to shut down the nuclear power plant early by manipulating the assessment. The targets of the seizure and search included the office of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power president Chae Hee-bong, who was secretary for industrial policy at the time of the assessment. You can see the willingness to investigate whether the Blue House was involved in evaluating the economics of nuclear power plants at that time. However, the Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office refused to say that it was executing a seizure and search warrant to investigate the prosecution case. He said he would understand that details are difficult to confirm because the case is still under investigation.
