The judge said that the truthfulness of the investigation record is related to the suspicion of preferential employment by public institutions regarding the son of a high-ranking public official who was the head of the presidential secretary at the time of hiring.

Meanwhile, prior to Mr. Moon, Congressman Ha also filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office to disclose investigation data, such as a statement from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and the Supreme Court in September 2019. Afterwards, Congressman Ha filed an additional lawsuit against the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office saying that he would also disclose 10 additional affidavits from hiring managers at the Korea Employment Information Service, and won some of the first trials in December last year.
