The Busan District Prosecutor’s Office of Women and Children’s Crime Investigation Department (Director Prosecutor Eun-mi Kim) filed a preliminary arrest warrant against the former mayor of Busan on charges of forced harassment and innocence. On the 18th, whether or not the mayor will be arrested is decided through a substantive examination of the arrest warrant.
According to the Dong-A Ilbo coverage, Mayor Oh is accused of sexual harassment by calling a subordinate from the office during business hours in early April this year. The prosecution is reported to have added to the facts of warrant crime against the allegations that Mayor Oh molested another employee besides this employee.
On the 20th of last month, the prosecution confiscated and searched the office of the information manager at Busan City Hall, the personnel department, and the office of the foreign cooperation advisor. On the 14th, Oh called the former mayor as a suspect to investigate. Prior to this, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency applied for an arrest warrant against the mayor in May this year on charges of forced harassment, but the court at the time dismissed the warrant, saying, “It is difficult to say that the need for detention is recognized.” Busan = Reporter Kang Seong-myeong [email protected]
