He said: “It reminds me of the time when last year the discussion of the National Assembly staff audience with the Minister of Justice was under way, and the family of the minister candidate was examined.” The fact that a blitzkrieg took place a week after the Attorney General visited the Daejeon District Attorney’s Office is worthy of doubt. “
Representative Lee emphasized, “Our party will not ignore this behavior of some political prosecutors, even for the honor of many prosecutors who are quietly performing their duties. I hope the prosecution will immediately arrest the dangerous and reckless fugitive.”
