Cho Kuk Called Head Prosecutor When His House Was Raided

It would be interesting to know what was said on this phone call because it definitely has the appearance of interfering with an ongoing investigation:

The president’s message followed a disclosure that the minister made a phone call to the head of the prosecution team when prosecutors raided his house for investigation into the scandal on Monday.

A lawmaker with the main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP) raised the issue during a parliamentary interpellation session Thursday and Cho admitted that he had such a phone conversation.

The minister said it was not intended to affect the team’s field operation, and that he just asked for help in getting his wife to relax.

The LKP claimed that Cho deserves impeachment for the phone call itself as he was apparently abusing his power as justice minister.
