"Former National Office of Investigation Head Ordered 'Keep Rape Quiet' Out of Fear of Criticism for Failing to Prevent Murder"

The prosecution, which investigated allegations of a botched police investigation into referring high school student murderer Jang Yoon-gi under the charge of "ordinary murder," has indicted former National Office of Investigation (NOI) head Park Sung-joo.

On the 2nd, the Gwangju District Office indicted Park without detention on charges including abuse of authority to obstruct the exercise of rights.

Last May, during the handling of the Jang Yoon-gi case, the prosecution also indicted three police officials on the same charges, including the head of the Violent Crime Investigation Division and the head of the Women and Youth Crime Investigation Division at the NOI.

We will bring you more details through the video.
