An official from Jung-gu District Office in Daegu was sent to the prosecution on charges of spilling beer on the floor at a chicken restaurant in the jurisdiction and making threatening remarks to the owner.
The Daegu Jungbu Police Station said on the 22nd that it sent a 40-year-old Jung-gu District Office official A on charges of intimidation.
A is accused of visiting a chicken restaurant in Jung-gu with three colleagues from Jung-gu District Office in June, spilling beer on the floor and making remarks to the owner to the effect of "rule."
The owner's husband publicized these things through the self-employed online community at the time. In particular, controversy intensified when Ryu Gu-ha, the head of Jung-gu District Office, said, "Keep doing business even though it's nothing."
The Jung-gu Office later conducted an audit and filed a complaint with the police against two employees, including A. The police said, "A did not say that he was a public servant, but admitted that he made a statement to the effect of letting him fail, and the employee accused of the crime judged that there were no charges."
The Jung-gu Office plans to decide whether to take disciplinary action based on the final results of the investigation into A.
It was confirmed that the chicken restaurant was closed after the incident.
