Oh Se-hoon Intensifies Criticism of Special Prosecutor Min Junggi: "Indicting the Victim, Leaving the Perpetrators Alone"

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon has continued to strongly criticize the special prosecutor team led by Min Junggi, which indicted him over the "Myung Taegyun Opinion Poll Allegation" case.

On this day, Mayor Oh posted a message on Facebook titled "Special Prosecutor Min Junggi, Why Is There Still No Answer?" and directly criticized the special prosecutor's investigation. He targeted the special prosecutor team, stating, "If you have faithfully acted as a pawn of those in power and then cowardly hid away, that silence itself would be the clearest confession that this is the worst 'malicious commissioned special prosecution' in constitutional history."

He also criticized, "It was the special prosecutor who, even after possessing evidence against these criminals—Kang Hye-kyung, who confessed to fabrication in court; Kim Tae-yeol, who said he would take responsibility alone if something went wrong; and Myung Taegyun, who orchestrated the entire fraud—let them go without touching a hair on their heads."

Mayor Oh went on to say, "Among investigative agencies, the worst are those that swap the roles of perpetrators and victims," adding, "If this was done knowingly, then the special prosecutor is not just a prosecutor but an accomplice." He urged, "Abandon the illusion that power will be your eternal shield, and immediately provide an explanation that the people can understand."

Previously, after attending the first trial on March 4, Mayor Oh also harshly criticized the Min Junggi special prosecutor team at a press briefing on March 5, saying, "They left the perpetrators alone and indicted the victim." On March 6, he further escalated his attacks by referring to the special prosecutor as a "malicious special prosecutor" in another Facebook post.
