This case began when the Geochang County Council reported Councilor Shin to investigative authorities through a plenary session resolution. It is understood that the prosecution decided not to investigate the case directly and found it more appropriate for the police to handle the investigation, thus transferring the case to Geochang Police Station.

Going forward, Geochang Police Station plans to review the contents of the report and related materials, conduct interviews with both the complainant and the accused, listen to statements from relevant parties, and secure related contracts and administrative documents to verify the facts.

Once the investigation is complete, the police will decide whether to refer the case back to the prosecution based on the investigation results or to close the case without referral.

The core issue in this case is to determine the factual basis of the report adopted by the Geochang County Council and whether any relevant laws were violated. Depending on the results of the police investigation, it is expected that the prosecution will decide whether or not to indict.

Meanwhile, in criminal cases, the presumption of innocence applies until a final court verdict is reached.
