A Seoul Central District Court panel has criticized the indictment filed by Kwon Chang-young’s second comprehensive special prosecutor’s team in a case involving four People Power Party lawmakers, according to Maeil Shinmun. At the first preparatory hearing on October 13, the panel said the alleged facts contained a serious defect and criticized the prosecution team. The defendants named in the report are Na Kyung-won, Kim Gi-hyeon, Yoon Sang-hyun and Kwon Young-jin, who face charges of obstructing the execution of official duties.
The report said the criticism has emerged in several cases where the second special prosecutor’s team overturned conclusions reached by earlier special prosecutors, but the available account does not provide the full details of the disputed allegations.
