It was confirmed that Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu, suspected of assaulting a taxi driver while drinking alcohol, made three attempts by calling the personal cell phone of the policeman in charge of the assault case. Although the actual call was not made, doubts remain as to why Vice Minister Lee made the call, as it was right after the internal police affairs were closed.
According to the police on the 24th, Vice Minister Lee tried to speak to Investigator A at the Seocho Police Station in Seoul three times, twice on the 13th and once on the 16th. Investigator A is the police officer in charge of the case. of assault on Vice Minister Lee’s taxi driver. Vice Minister Lee called Investigator A’s personal cell phone, but no actual contact was made.
The moment Vice Minister Lee tried to call was the day after the police decided to close the allegations of Lee’s assault internally. On the 6th of last month, a report of assault on a taxi driver was received through 112, and the police received a request for disapproval and a brief statement from the victim taxi driver present on the 9th. According to reports, Vice Minister Lee met with the driver in a cafe on the 8th, the day before the police investigated the taxi driver, he apologized and handed him the settlement money.
Seocho-seo initially tried to apply a weighted punishment law for specific crimes that severely punishes the driver’s assault on Lee, but changed his judgment and concluded that the internal investigation was closed on the 12th. However, the reason for the change was not recorded. . The report on the conclusion of internal affairs, which the legislators of the People’s Power read through the police, only expressed the intention of “changing to the one who does not apply the special prices law.”
In this process, however, Vice Minister Lee refused to respond after receiving notification of assistance from the police on the 7th of last month, and then called the police officer in charge on the 13th, the day after the close of business. internal affairs. It is interpreted that Vice Minister Lee, who was in a passive position, suddenly tried to actively verify the progress of the case.
In response to a question from Bonbo asking why the phone was attempted, Vice Minister Lee said: “There has been no separate contact from the police since the intention to leave on the 9th,” he said. He added: “On the 16th, when I called the office, another detective told me that ‘Investigator A is off duty,” he said and hung up the phone. On the 16th, the police informed Vice Minister Lee of the conclusion of internal affairs via text message.
Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the victim’s taxi driver went to a black box recovery company in Jangan-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, before going to the police (7 or 8 last month). When the police dispatched immediately after reporting the 112 they marked the black box, there was no video related to this loan, and the image storage device of the black box (SD card) of the taxi was empty in the police investigation of the 9th .
The reason for the taxi driver’s visit to the black box company is to restore the video and to delete it permanently. A police officer “I can erase the video by removing the SD card, but I wouldn’t have gone to Jangan-dong to get rid of the video at that time,” he said. “Would you have gone to retrieve the video with a feeling of frustration?” On the other hand, Mr. Lee, who runs a black box agency in Jangan-dong, shook his head and said, “It is difficult to find a recovery company in Jangan-dong” and “I wonder why I came to this place”.
