Even Kim Kun-hee's wife is banned from meeting President Yoon Seok-yeol... Lawyer Yoon Kap-keun: ”Are you afraid of destroying evidence? You should immediately withdraw your revenge against the president” (South Korea)
The High-Ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency has banned arrested President Yoon Seok-yeol from meeting with outsiders, except for his lawyers, according to Yoon Kap-geun, a lawyer representing President Yoon.
Shigeo demanded that the decision be immediately withdrawn, saying, "Restricting visits with family members who are not related to the civil war is not for the purpose of investigation, but merely a way to get revenge on the president."
President Yoon's lawyer, Yoon Kap-keun, said in a statement on the 20th, "(The Public Prosecutors' Office and others) claim that the criminal facts have been established, but instead they are destroying evidence.
"The court has said that the Democratic Party chairman Lee Jae-myung and former Fatherland Reform Party chairman Cho Kuk are 'not guilty of any crime.'"
The court dismissed the arrest warrant because "the evidence is clear, but there is no risk of the evidence being destroyed." However, the court was particularly biased in its claim that the evidence against the president was sufficient, but that there was a risk of the evidence being destroyed.
"I am applying logic," he said. "I cannot help but ask, 'Why should my human rights be violated even more because I am the president, and should I be disadvantaged more than other politicians?'
The Public Prosecutors' Office must immediately revoke the human rights-violating restrictions on visits and retract its contradictory assertion that there is a risk of evidence being destroyed."
In particular, Attorney Yoon has been involved in the investigation of former Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye.
He cited the fact that President Moon continued to communicate with the outside world and give state affairs reports even after the impeachment bill was passed, and argued that this was a "minimal measure taken in consideration of the special nature of the presidential position and the smooth running of state affairs."
The previous day, the Public Prosecutors' Office took measures to prevent President Yoon, who is currently being held in Seoul Detention Center, from receiving any visitors except from his lawyers. The Public Prosecutors' Office decided that if President Yoon met with those involved in the case, he might destroy evidence.
Meanwhile, President Yoon's lawyer, Seok Dong-hyun, also wrote on his Facebook page that morning, "The president is preparing for the time when he will return to his duties and powers, and is working hard every moment during the suspension of his powers.
"We need to have a detailed understanding of the ongoing domestic situation," he said in a statement in opposition to the decision to ban visits.
