Aftershocks continue over investigation of Kim Kun-hee's wife... Prosecutor General Lee Won-bye: ”I never ordered a public summons or apology... I regret the judicial-political dispute” = South Korea

Aftershocks continue to be felt in the prosecution's investigation of Kim Gun-Hee, the wife of President Yoon Seok-Yeol.
When suspicions were raised that he had ordered the public summons for his wife to apologize for the "designer bag scandal," the Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office dismissed the allegations, saying, "This is not true."
On the 29th, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office issued a statement to the media stating, "The Prosecutor General has not disclosed to Kim Jong-un's wife the details of the case.
"I did not give instructions to summon the prosecution or to receive an apology. Rather, I instructed them not to get involved as this is not an issue for the prosecution to handle."
He continued, "The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has also already stated that it has not received any instructions to publicly summon and apologize.
"It is deeply regrettable that people around the world are spreading baseless false facts and slandering the prosecutor general, thus forcing the judiciary into a political battle," he said.
Prior to this, Lee Jong-bae, a member of the ruling People Power Party and a member of Seoul City Council, said that he was on confidential business that morning.
The prosecution has filed charges against Prosecutor General Lee Won-byeong on charges of leaking information and abuse of power. "If it is true that I ordered the public summons and apology of Mrs. Kim, this constitutes abuse of power and obstruction of the exercise of rights," Lee said.
