강남·서초 아파트 매맷값 4주 연속 하락…서울 매물 증가 추세

Four former police officials, including former director-general Park Seng-ju, are being charged with obstructing authority due to their alleged involvement in the "Chung Yun-gi Incident," which involved the murder of a high school girl. The Gangwon Provincial Prosecutors Office announced the charges during a press conference. The accused include former chief of national bureau Park Seng-ju, head of organized crime division Kim Gak-ryong, former women and youth crime division chief (total), and sexual violence division chief (Gak).

Another former chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Lee Gyu-sik, was cleared due to lack of evidence. They are accused of improperly instructing the Guamsan police station's investigation team to separate the investigation of the foreign woman's sexual assault and murder case from the murder case. The prosecutors claim that Park Seng-ju's instructions interfered with the investigation team's ability to properly investigate the motivations behind the murder and the sexual assault.
