Further details have been revealed about the witness A in Yang Hyun Suk's case.
On the 7th, a source from the legal community revealed that the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office indicted Yang Hyun Suk without detention on the 28th of last month on charges of retaliation under the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.
In August 2016, A, a public informant in B.I's drug case, was arrested on drug charges and under police investigation, confessed to police that Yang was aware of B.I's alleged drug purchases and he persuaded and threatened A to block investigations into B.I.
Yang Hyun Suk is also under suspicion for making a request to A's agency head so that A could flee abroad causing suspension of witnesses to occur. Suspension of witnesses is a decision to temporarily suspend judicial proceedings if prosecution fails to summon key witnesses. As a result, the prosecution was not able to apply the charges.
A was also found to be involved in Lime Fund scam but because he was on the run overseas the investigation could not be conducted.
Meanwhile, Yang Hyun Suk was also sentenced to a fine of 15 million won in November last year for an illegal gambling expedition worth billions of dollars in Las Vegas.
