Yes, the prosecution held a final review meeting on the disposition of the Deutsche case from 2 p.m. today with prosecutors from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office gathering.

The meeting took about four hours.

A total of 15 prosecutors, including the prosecutors of the anti-corruption investigation department in charge of the Deutsche case, as well as the deputy prosecutors of the Central District Prosecutors' Office and the senior prosecutor under its wing, are said to have participated.

At the meeting, the prosecutors discussed whether First Lady Kim Gun-hee and First Lady Kim Yoon Suk Yeol's mother Choi Eun-soon's allegations of aiding and abetting stock price manipulation,
It is said that they also discussed how to respond to the controversy caused by the disposition of the
case.

It is interpreted as a final inspection of the case from an external perspective, as it is known that Kim contacted market price manipulation forces when the stock price manipulation investigation began in earnest.

Based on the results of internal discussions, the prosecution is expected to dispose of Kim's alleged manipulation of Deutsche's stock price as early as tomorrow (17th).It is reported that

Kim and his mother, Choi Eun-soon, are putting weight on the direction of closing the case without charge.

The prosecution believes that the situation is different from the one in which Mr. Sohn was convicted of aiding and abetting in the appeal trial of stock price manipulators, including Kwon Oh-soo, former chairman of Deutsche Motors, last month.

However, as the judgment is far from the public legal sentiment, criticism of the prosecution and the voice of the special prosecutor Kim are expected to intensify if such a result comes out.
