Attorney Kim Ki-yun, the legal representative of the family of Mr. A, met with reporters after a meeting with the bereaved family of the People’s Power ‘Task Force on the Attack of a Marine and Fisheries Official’ held at the National Assembly on the same day and said, “We have selected four additional accusers and will file charges next Tuesday morning. “Plan,” he said, adding, “Ex-President Moon Jae-in was not included.”

The bereaved family of a public official at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the former deputy chief Suh Joo-seok are accused of additional charges

As a result of checking with the bereaved family, the New Daily decided to file charges against four people, including the former first deputy director of the National Security Office, Suh Joo-seok, for obstruction of the execution of official duties, abuse of power, and creation of false public documents.

Mr. A, a former official of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, disappeared on September 21, 2020 while aboard a fishing guidance ship off Soyeonpyeong Island, the northernmost part of the West Sea. Nine days after the incident, the Coast Guard announced that Mr. A had ‘voluntarily fled North Korea’ through the results of the interim investigation, but recently overturned the conclusion to the effect that “it cannot be concluded that North Korea has defected” after about a year and 9 months.

Commissioner Yoon Seong-hyun and Chief Kim Tae-gyun, who were then the head of the Investigative Intelligence Bureau and the Criminal Division, judged that in July of last year, when the Human Rights Commission announced the results of the interim investigation by the Coast Guard, it was an act of infringing on the personality rights and honor of the bereaved family by disclosing personal information such as the debt situation of Mr. He was the person who advised the Commissioner of the Coast Guard to take warning measures.

Commissioner Yoon Seong-hyeon was promoted to magistrate in December 2020, three months after the incident.

The claim that the former first deputy director of the National Security Office, Seo Joo-seok, ordered ‘distortion of the incident’ came out of his passport. Rep. Ha Tae-kyung, chairman of the Task Force for Investigation of the Attack of a Public Official of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, met with reporters the day before (23rd) at the Ministry of National Defense in Yongsan-gu, Seoul and said, “The person in charge who instructed the Blue House to distort the incident was It was confirmed that Seo was the former deputy chief,” he said.

On September 24, two days after the incident, the Ministry of National Defense said in a statement, “We have ‘confirmed’ that North Korea has committed the atrocities of shooting and burning our people.” He changed his position to ‘do it’.

The people’s power claim is that it was found that the person in the Security Office who issued the guidelines was the former deputy chief Suh Joo-seok. Assemblyman Ha emphasized, “On September 27, 2020, former deputy chief Seo sent an official letter to the Ministry of National Defense and instructed to change the position confirmed by ‘incineration of the body’.”

However, in a statement on the same day, former deputy chief Suh Joo-seok said, “Through special information (SI) analysis, the position of ‘incineration of dead bodies’ announced on the 24th (24th) and the expression ‘incineration of floating objects’ in the North Korean notice (25th) were different. We have considered comparing and based on our position, but trying to find out the differences through investigation.”

King Haegyeong, a former administrative officer from a pro-munition aide

In addition, it is known that the ‘King of Haegyeong’, which the bereaved family has decided to report, was an aide to the Democratic Party’s pro-moon lawmaker as an administrator of the Blue House’s senior civil affairs office at the time, and has exercised influence with the Coast Guard. Former administrator B is said to have been mainly in charge of police data during his time as his assistant.

At a meeting with the bereaved family held at the National Assembly that day, Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People’s Power, said, “Not only the bereaved family, but also the whole nation should know about who, for what purpose, and through what circumstances such a nonsensical thing happened.” It is an incident that asks not only the unjust death of the deceased and the honor of the bereaved family, but also the reason for the existence of the country.”
