Situation of absence due to prolonged illness of Choo Mi-ae’s son
Call for vacation, congressman Mi-ae Choo’s aide, complaints interpreter, as if calling a former defense aide
From the record 4,000 vacation extensions for 11 years, there is no data only for the son of Chu Mi-ae
On the 9th, prosecutors investigated three key references at once regarding the suspected preferential license for KATUSA (Korean Army attached to KATUSA) when the 27-year-old son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae was serving as a soldier. from KATUSA, and they recorded an unusual video of the entire investigation process.
It is analyzed that the Prosecutor’s Office, which alleged that the declaration of a military that he received a telephone call of “ vacation extension ” from the assistant to the minister in 2017, was omitted from the file, is taking the insolvency allegations seriously.
To block criticism that the investigation has been delayed for more than eight months after the indictment in January this year, the prosecution is expected to carry out a new full investigation from the source and as soon as possible to investigate the actual relationship. In addition to the controversy over Mr. Seo’s request for a vacation extension, the prosecution is expanding the scope of the investigation to cover the full range of additional suspicions, such as the dispatch of interpreters for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and complaints. civilians for the deployment of US troops in Yongsan, Seoul.
○ Simultaneous re-investigation of 3 ratios … Video recording of the entire process
On the 9th, the Detective Division of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Deok-gon), which had reviewed related records and others, launched an investigation on the 9th. The first subjects of the investigation were three key people who would clear up the suspicions related to Seo’s vacation: Captain A, the support officer of the 2nd US Division, Captain B, the support commander of the battalion of the headquarters of the division and Mr. C. Captain A stated that the statement, “I received a phone call from a person named Chu Mi-ae, asking if Mr. Seo’s sick leave would be handled” was omitted from the prosecution record . Mr. C has also testified that “the captain of the upper unit came and ordered Seo to leave.” The prosecution further investigated the circumstances in which Mr. Seo’s sick leave was extended in June 2017, and the situation in which Mr. Seo did not return after the end of the sick leave. The Prosecutor’s Office has already called them as reference figures in June and July of this year to investigate, but it is known that the investigation was carried out to fully reaffirm the suspicion based on additional data. Earlier, the prosecution said that medical records, such as medical certificates, were secured by seizing and searching the Yangju Armed Forces Hospital and Samsung Hospital in Seoul, where Mr. Seo was treated. The prosecution also plans to call an aide during the time of Congressman Chu, who is known to have called Captain A, to investigate.
The prosecution’s investigation is accelerating not only in the holidays, but also because of suspicions of requesting interpreters and complaints about self-deployment. Former Defense Minister D, suspected of filing a complaint to the army to send Seo as an interpreter for the PyeongChang Olympics, is also known to be the subject of investigation by the prosecution. It is said that Mr. D was a member of the Democratic Party, where Minister Choo Mi-ae was serving as a representative at the time. In a phone call with Bonbo, a military officer said: “There was a time when Mr. D was from the ruling party and he hurt the self-esteem of the soldiers.” “But most of the soldiers bowed their heads to him and were very upset.”
○ The Prosecutor’s Office investigates the loss of Mr. Seo’s vacation records
The prosecution plans to investigate quickly, as the key issue in the case is whether it is illegal in the process of extending Mr. Seo’s license. That is why the prosecution has obtained a record of complaints received by the Ministry of National Defense in June 2017 to verify the authenticity of the records of interviews with the leader of the support team Seo, who said that one of the pairs of ministers called to the complaints office of the Ministry of Defense to file a complaint. Military officers who were investigated by the prosecution said they made statements in support of Defense Minister Chung Kyung-du’s remarks that “the leave order was made legally, but the administrative process was insufficient.”
It is known that the prosecution has partially understood the circumstances in which the administrative treatment of the military was deficient, such as the absence of registration of the license handling by Seo in 2017. There are more than 4,000 KATUSA soldiers who extended their vacations for 11 years from 2010 to this year, of which there are not only records of the extension of Seo in 2017. Regarding the materials related to the treatment of Seo license in the prosecution, some military said: “It is possible that the data was lost in the process of moving KATUSA Soldier Education University from Uijeongbu to Pyeongtaek in May-July 2017 “or” I don’t remember exactly. ” It is known to have declared. It is said that he did not cooperate even at the request of the prosecution on the results of the military investigation itself.
At first, Seo’s suspicion of preferential vacations was known as a relatively simple case when the complaint was filed in January. However, after the inauguration of Minister Chu in January this year, the senior officials of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office, who were assigned to Seo’s case, continued to fight.
Meanwhile, suspicions about Mr. Seo continued to grow. There were even suspicions that a request for the dispatch of interpreters or a complaint requesting the placement of an independent unit in Yongsan was delivered to the military officers through the ruling party staff. A prosecution official said: “If the controversy over a reduced investigation by the Seoul District East District Prosecutor’s Office is unfair, it will have to be investigated more quickly and intensively to end the controversy.”
