Corruption Investigation Office Indicts Judge Ji Gwi-yeon Without Detention Over 4.09 Million Won Drinks Treatment Under Anti-Graft Act

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials announced that it has indicted Judge Ji Gwi-yeon of the Seoul Northern District Court without detention on charges of violating the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act over suspicions of receiving "room salon entertainment."

Judge Ji is accused of having two lawyers pay for approximately 4.09 million won worth of drinks at a bar in Gangnam, Seoul, around August 2023.

The Corruption Investigation Office stated that bribery charges were not applied because a connection between the entertainment and the judge's official duties was not proven.
