As suspicions of requesting a vacation preference for the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and requesting the process of assigning special skills (positioning) to self-deployment arose one after another, lawyers for Minister Choo’s children refuted one by one and announced that they would respond to civil and criminal legal actions against false reports.
However, controversy continues over important suspicions, such as the opposition party’s refutation of the lawyers’ claim.
According to KBS, Representative Shin Won-sik’s People’s Power Office said in a phone call that Reserve Colonel Lee Amu-gae, who was in charge of the unit at the time of the KATUSA Soldier’s son’s service as a soldier of KATUSA said, “I came to the 2nd Division (Uijeongbu) and sent it to Yongsan.” Published. KBS also reported that former Colonel Lee stated that “there was a request to be selected as an interpreter before the PyeongChang Olympics in 2017.”
Chosun Ilbo, in the headline “Send Chua-deul Yongsan, also apply for self-deployment,” said to Representative Won-sik Shin: “The first day to classify the position, Professor Seong-Hwan Seo and the Minister’s mother-in-law Chu, “Don’t do it,” he said, “for 40 minutes,” he said, but he did not meet with the minister’s family separately. “I brought all my parents together on job classification day and said, ‘You shouldn’t asking for it’.
Along with this, JoongAng Ilbo reported on the cover of 8, “Suspicion of requesting an interpreter for the son of the party representative, Chu Mi-ae,” in a phone call from former Defense Minister Song Young-moo, saying: “I know that the request for an interpreter was made at the representative office of the Democratic Party ”.
Ho-young Joo, the National Forces Representative, told the Emergency Countermeasures Committee on the 7th: “According to the testimony of the commander of the support group, a request for placement in Yongsan from the time of self-deployment and placement of unity, and a request to be sent as an interpreter to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. It was said that there was a constant reaction from attendees of Defense Minister candidate Song Young-moo and the Assembly’s defense liaison officer. National. “This simple case has not been concluded by the Dongbu District Prosecutor’s Office for 8 months, and people who have ignored the testimony of important witnesses are making a move to return to the investigation team again.” He also noted that a conflict of interest has been raised with the Korea National Rights Commission.
KBS also relayed this statement, saying, “We are investigating the violation of the Kim Young-ran Act and whether Minister Chu Mi-ae conflicts with ministerial matters.”
In response, lawyers for Minister Choo Mi-ae’s son (attorney Hyun Geun-taek, etc.) came out to refute the data. In the data released on the morning of the 8th, the lawyers pointed out that “some media raised suspicions of solicitation for self-deployment assignments, and reported that they had been teaching for dozens of minutes not to ask about a family as if it were true.” “After selection, KATUSA soldiers are trained in the first half (5 weeks) in Nonsan and in the second half in Uijeongbu. Family visits at the end of education in the second half, and units are placed and assigned through computer random number lottery while the family watches. It will be decided. ” The lawyers argued that “the structure is fundamentally impossible for any outside intervention in matters related to the deployment of units and positions.”
The attorneys said, “After Seo’s KATUSA Soldier training, his grandmother, father, and three uncles, who were 90 years old at the time, attended the graduation ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, the personnel officers explained the system. self-deployment, and all the trainee and their family I put it on the computer in front of the audience and ran the random number lottery, “he said.” Immediately, the trainees and their families moved to a restaurant in the unit where more than a hundred people came in and ate together. He explained that he went home. “
In particular, the lawyers said: “In the midst of the many apprentices and families who attended the ceremony, it is impossible to educate them not to ask for only two families as reported.” “In the end, there is no wicked and absurd argument and confirmation for calling for troop deployment. We inform you that we will respond to civil and criminal legal actions for false accusations that do not exist ”.
However, there was no refutation or specific response as to whether there were any suspicious phone calls related to the location of the unit at the party office.
Along with this, the lawyers also countered the suspicion of preferential vacations lifted day after day. The attorneys said: “Some outlets disagree with Army regulations, but KATUSA soldiers are first subject to US Army Regulation 600-2 in Korea.” “This regulation (2 ~ 7. P.) requires vacation documents to be kept for one year. There is, ”he explained. The lawyers refuted that the report that “army regulations must be maintained for 5 years, but there are no documents at this time” is incorrect. The lawyers explained that the regulations stipulate that in the case of 28 days of regular leave, you can go at any time you want, and that you can go for 30 days (10 additional days can be added) if you have an illness.
The first sick leave (June 5 to June 14, 2017) was based on the report from Seoul Samsung Hospital (April 5 of the same year), and related lawyers said the vacation used by Mr. Se revealed that there were no problems based on the results of the treatment at Yangju Armed Forces Hospital. In the case of the second sick leave (June 15 to June 23, 2017), the lawyers said: “At the end of the first sick leave, you can get oral approval first and send the documents later, and you can send them by email on June 21 of that year. He said: “It is wrong to report that there is a problem with going to the second sick leave based on the medical certificate from Samsung Medical Center (June 21, 2017) subsequently submitted by some media.”
In response to media reports that a medical examination must be performed in accordance with the Army regulations for additional sick leave, the attorneys objected that “the leave requested under these regulations is not subject to medical care deliberation, for what appears to be an incorrect interpretation of the law. “
According to a media report, ‘According to the army regulations, you must return to the unit after the first sick leave and then you must get the leave again,’ the lawyers said, “There is no such content in the first regulations. applicable, and we can see where those regulations are. No. “
In addition, the third holidays (from June 24 to June 27, 2017) are regular holidays under the same regulations that you can go to whenever you want, so there is no problem.
In response, representative Shin Won-shik refuted. According to Munhwa Ilbo at night, in response to the advocacy group’s objection that the holidays are in accordance with the regulations of the United States Army, Representative Shin Won-sik said: “Please follow the 120 regulations of living in the barracks, not US Army regulations. ” When the number of days can be extended, there are natural disasters, traffic disruptions and unavoidable reasons, but Mr. Seo does not fall under unavoidable reasons. “
It is known that these data were given by the Army Personnel Command to Congressman Shin. An official from the Defense Ministry said in a call with Media Today on the 8th: “I know that the Army has presented data related to these regulations at the request of the National Assembly.” The official said: “While the prosecution is investigating this related matter, it is difficult for us to explain it as if we were correct or to refute the position of the lawyers.”
Hyeon Geun-taek, the lawyer for the team of lawyers, asked what kind of opinion he had about Congressman Shin’s objection through phone calls and text messages multiple times, but the connection could not be established and no response was obtained.
Meanwhile, the Blue House and the Justice Ministry said they could not reveal their position because both were under investigation. In the pending briefing on the afternoon of the 8th, a Blue House official told a questioning reporter: “Suspicions about Minister Chu’s son are increasing and opposition attacks on the issue of injustice are increasing. are intensifying. Since this is an ongoing investigation, there is no specific content to mention this time as it has not been mentioned. “
An official from the Ministry of Justice said through Media Today and SNS messenger during the day that “we are not talking about the matter that is being investigated in principle.”
