Ex-Presidential Chief of Staff will be Summoned

The Seoul district prosecutor's office plans to summon and investigate Park Kwan Yong, the former presidential chief of staff and Lee Hoi Sung, the younger brother of the chief of the opposition Grand National Party, regarding the 'Panmunjum Shooting Plot'. A source at the prosecutor's office said, 'We discovered Park and Lee's possible involvement with the plot. We also plan to investigate whether or not they attempted to destroy evidence related to the matter.'
The prosecutor's office is considering whether or not it will open to the public aspects of their investigation such as allowing the media to cover questioning of suspects. It did confirm that Oh Jung Eun, the former Chung Wa Dae (The Blue House) official, illegally offered 15 reports about the election to presidential candidate Lee Hoi Chang, contrary to the neutrality of his position. Additionally, the prosecutor's office is investigating the North Korean's show of force at Panmunjum just before the representatives election in April 1996.
