Report Claims Korean Prosecutor General Linked to Sex Scandal

This is very interesting because the current Prosecutor General was appointed by the Moon administration just this past July:

Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl denied a media report linking him to an infamous sex party hosted by construction contractor Yun Jung-cheon, senior prosecution officials told the JoongAng Ilbo on Friday. 

The Hankyoreh newspaper on Thursday published a report saying the prosecution, during its reinvestigation of a sex scandal involving former Vice Justice Minister Kim Hak-eui, obtained testimony from Yun that Yoon also received sexual favors at his private villa in Gangwon, but did not look into it. 

Yoon’s name appeared in the records of the initial investigation into the sex scandal in 2013, but prosecutors reinvestigating the case this year did nothing about it, according to the report by a journalist from the newspaper’s affiliated weekly magazine Hankyoreh 21.

You can read more at the link, but for those that don’t know, the Hankyoreh is a left wing publication which means the report on Yoon was an intentional attack from the left on someone the Blue House appointed.

This could mean that the Blue House is using the Hankyoreh report to try and pressure the Prosecutor General to squash the investigation into the ROK Justice Minister, Cho Kuk for corruption.
