Executives from the Financial Services Commission, who appeared as witnesses to the trial of former Justice Minister Cho Kook’s ‘mother of the prosecutor’, claimed that they had not been clearly informed of the erroneous concerns of former Busan City Mayor Yoo Jae-soo.
On the 14th, the 21st Division of the Criminal Settlement of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Kim Mi-ri) held a hearing on former Minister Cho, etc., accused of obstructing the exercise of abuse rights of job. At the trial that day, the executives who were in charge of supervisory matters and personnel matters at the time of various misconduct by former Deputy Mayor Yoo (then head of the Financial Policy Office of the Financial Services Commission ) appeared as witnesses.
Former Minister Cho is accused of instructing former Deputy Mayor Yoo to stop inspecting for bribery and misconduct carried out by a special inspection of the Office of Civil Affairs in late 2017 when he was serving as Chief of Civil Service in the Blue House.
The prosecution believes that the case concluded on the line that the Financial Services Commission received the resignation, despite the fact that the special supervision squad identified a significant part of the deputy mayor’s misconduct.
In recent lawsuits, the question of how the Financial Services Commission accepted the former secretary’s notification regarding the suspicion remained a problem.
The prosecution said the criticism from Vice Mayor Yoo was a serious matter, such as bribery, but did not specifically notify the Financial Services Commission and actually “ cheer ” on resignation, while Cho and Baek’s secretary took responsibility. of this notice. He insists that he will.
While the positions of the two parties were mixed, executives from the Financial Services Commission who appeared in court on the same day made a statement to the effect that the notice from the Blue House was unclear.
A, head of the administrative personnel department of the Financial Services Commission, said: “At that time, a call came from the office of the chairman of the Financial Services Commission, and when the chairman of the Financial Services Commission, Choi Jong -gu and former Vice President Kim Yong-beom were talking about a ‘personal reference’ to former Vice Mayor Yoo of the Blue House, “he said in detail. I said I didn’t know.
When the prosecution asked what it means to refer to personnel in general, Mr. A replied: “It is not normal to speak of discipline, but it is not normal, so I think it can be understood to the extent that it means that it is subject to personal disadvantage. “.
He also said that the reason for Vice Mayor Yoo’s resignation was “I understand it as a procedure to go to the main committee of experts of the National Assembly, not as a sanction for prosecution.”
This is in line with the prosecution’s position that even though former Deputy Chief Yoo was subject to inspection, it was virtually “zero war” as a member of the senior expert committee who served as deputy minister without any disciplinary action.
Mr. B, the audit officer of the Financial Services Commission, who assisted Choi, testified that “there was no official notification from the Blue House regarding the results of the inspection of the former deputy mayor of Yu.”
As the hearing on the suspicion continues, Vice Mayor Yoo Jeon, the prosecution party, will appear as a witness. Former Deputy Mayor Yoo was investigated by the prosecution for misconduct charges, which at the time was a matter of prosecution, and was handed over to trial and sentenced to one year and six months in prison at the first trial and three years of probation.
