On the 17th, Mr. Yoon Geo (33), who had witnessed the so-called ‘Jang Ja-yeon incident’, and was surrounded by suspicions of sponsorship fraud, said: “I live at home and am quite protected in Canada “. Yoon refuted data from the Ministry of Justice that his whereabouts were unknown. Yoon said, “The sword and the police are astonished.”
However, the Justice Ministry said the location was unknown at the time the arrest warrant was issued and the extradition procedure is ongoing. The police also responded that Yoon’s claim was not correct.
The controversy over Mr. Yoon started the day before, when representative Soo-jin Cho, the power of the people, released data from the Ministry of Justice that said he was being sought for the nomination because the whereabouts of Mr. Yoon were unknown. . On the 8th, Yoon posted a video on Instagram of holding a party at an esteemed Canadian hotel. Some responded that it was not understood that the Ministry of Justice did not know where he was.
The Ministry of Justice believes that the controversy is a misunderstanding caused by the word ‘unknown’. To bring in a suspect who has departed from abroad, you must obtain an arrest warrant from a national court. The requirements for obtaining an arrest warrant are unknown. Since the national location is unknown, it means that they will receive a court order and track it down. When a court order is issued, ask the country to extradite the criminal.
It is the Canadian government that decides whether to arrest Yun and send him to Korea. The Ministry of Justice persuades the other country about the reasons for sending the suspect to Korea. A police officer said, “I don’t know where Yun is right now, so I can’t bring him, but a procedure is necessary.”
It takes several years to bring in a suspect who has gone abroad, regardless of whether or not the location is identified. Arthur John Patterson, an American perpetrator of the so-called “ Itaewon Murder Case, ” took six years to return after requesting extradition. This is because Patterson filed personal protection petitions in local court one after another. Yoo Byung-eon, the former owner of the Sewol ferry, was also repatriated from France to Korea after three years of requesting the extradition of a criminal.
Currently, Yoon has left the country and rejected a subpoena investigation by the police, and the investigation was stopped in May. The investigation is expected to resume only when Yoon is repatriated or assisted by himself for the investigation. An official from the Ministry of Justice said: “It is the basic position of the Ministry of Justice to pursue and repatriate criminals who have left abroad to the end.”
Furthermore, Yoon said, “I requested the cooperation of Canada, but the Korean police refused.” A police officer asked, “Even if we ask for help, what can we do with Canada and what can Canada ask Korea?”
Regarding the ‘Yang Ja-yeon List’ in 2019, Yun received attention by stating that “there was a list of surnames with 40-50 names written on it.” However, the rest of the people who saw the document said: “There was no list with written names”, which raised doubts about the credibility. As a witness, Mr. Yoon established a non-profit organization, ‘Light on the Earth,’ and raised 140 million won in donations on behalf of the witness’s security expenses. Yoon left the country in April last year, and the Justice Ministry’s Prosecutors’ Past Investigations Committee concluded that it is difficult to recommend a new sex crime investigation next month. Yoon was sued by 439 backers to return 32 million won in donations and was charged with fraud.
