Prosecution: "Police Claimed to Have Attached Cable Tie Evidence in Jang Yoon-gi Case? No Record Found"

The prosecution has asserted that there is absolutely no mention of binding tools in the investigation records previously forwarded by the police regarding the "Jang Yoon-gi case."

According to legal circles on July 6, the Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju discovered cable ties while searching Jang Yoon-gi's vehicle.

The SUV in question was identified as the vehicle used by Jang to kidnap the victim.

It is reported that during the on-site search, the investigation team discovered the cable ties inside the vehicle before the forensic team arrived, but they did not secure them as evidence.

The police maintain that they photographed the cable ties while recording the vehicle inspection process through photos and videos, and that they attached these to the investigation report.

In contrast, the prosecution countered that there was no mention of cable ties in the records forwarded by the police at the time, and that the police only sent additional investigation records regarding the existence of the cable ties to the prosecution today.

The police have not provided a clear explanation as to why they did not separately secure the physical cable ties at the time.

As the whereabouts of the cable ties could not be determined afterward, the police emergency-arrested Inspector A, the person in charge of the investigation team, on charges of destruction of evidence.

The National Office of Investigation under the National Police Agency excluded the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency's chain of command today and formed a special investigation team (consisting of 27 members) led by the headquarters' Investigation and Human Rights Officer (Senior Superintendent).
