On the 19th, the power of the people criticized the fact that on the 19th the attack on a taxi driver by Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu became known. . “Another person” seems to refer to Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol. Vice Minister Lee is a member of the Disciplinary Committee of the Prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice which imposed a two-month suspension on President Yoon.
Deputy spokesperson Park Ki-nyeong said in the day’s comment, “All members of Moon Jae-in’s government seem to be proud even of illegal acts due to a sense of privilege,” and “I want to ask if there is a conscience before shouting fairness and justice. ”
He said, “This time, I am Lee Yong-gu, Vice Minister of Justice. At the beginning of last month, the police swore to the taxi driver to wake him up in a taxi, grab him from behind and try to get lost,” he said. “The position is,” he said.
“Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu has not made any clarification so far,” he criticized, saying, “Even if he clarifies, the aggression and abusive language towards the taxi driver will not go away.”
He said: “This case should be reinvested according to the same standards as the general public,” he said. “Also, in the appointment process of Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu, if the government knows the fact and approves it, you should be responsible.
According to police, Vice Minister Lee assaulted the driver for waking up from his sleep early last month during his career as a lawyer before being appointed as Vice Minister. The police decided to verify Lee’s identity and investigate further. Later, the taxi driver said that he did not want to be punished because he was not injured. It is reported that the police also concluded the case in mid-November with a “closed internal affairs” decision that the situation at that time did not correspond to a “vehicle in operation” under the Special Law.
