Yonhap News, Reporter Kang Young-Hoon
Prosecutors filed for arrest warrants for the officers of Shincheonji church, who were accused of interfering with the prevention of the new coronavirus infection.
On the 6th, Suwon District Prosecutor's Officer Detective Division 6 (Park Seung-Dae Chief Prosecutor) filed a warrant for arresting 5 people, including Mr. A, a general secretary of the Gwacheon General Assembly Office of Shincheonji, on charges of violating the infectious disease prevention method.
Mr. A and others are accused of submitting false data, such as reducing the number of member lists and meeting places to the quarantine authorities in Feb when Covid 19 spread around the Shincheonji Daegu Church.
They are also accused of destroying evidence, such as by disposing of related data in preparation for forced investigation by an investigative agency.
Chairman Lee Man Hee (89) was not included in the request for a warrant.
However, as the prosecution has finished investigating major executives and has requested warrants, it is observed that the summons investigation is not imminent.
Earlier, the National Sinchon Jiphae Natural University (Jeon - Yeon - Jeon) accused President Lee of prosecution of charges for the embezzlement and embezzlement of the violence of infectious Diseases Prevention Act and the Specific Economic Crimes Weighted Punishment Act in late February.
Suwon District Prosecutors, who received the case, conducted investigations against alleged victims, and investigated the cases where Shincheonji meeting places submitted by Shincheonji were inconsistent with the data obtained by the quarantine authorities.
Subsequently, on May 22, more than 100 investigative personnel were mobilized to conduct seizure investigations by simultaneously seizing and searching Gwacheon General Assembly Headquarters, Gapyeong Peace Palace, and several facilities related to Shincheonji, such as Busan, Gwangju and Daejeon.
