Former Supreme Court Chief to be Questioned in Power Abuse Scandal
Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Yang Sung-tae is set to appear for questioning over his alleged role in a power abuse(권한남용) scandal involving former top court officials.
Yang is expected to appear at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office(서울중앙지검) around 9:30 a.m. Friday, making him the first former head of the Supreme Court to ever face prosecutorial questioning as a criminal suspect(범죄 혐의).
The 71-year-old former judge led the top court beginning in 2011 and retired in September 2017. The former chief justice is suspected of having sought to use sensitive high-profile trials(이목이 집중되는 재판) as bargaining chips in dealings with the Park Geun-hye administration to realize his plan to establish a separate court of appeals(별도의 상소법원).
