Choi, An Opposed to Adoption of Datebooks as Evidence
Prosecutors probing the Choi Soon-sil scandal clashed with Choi’s defense team over the adoption of key evidence at the second hearing of her trial at the Seoul Central District Court on Wednesday.
Choi’s lawyers said they are against adopting as evidence datebooks belonging to former presidential aide An Chong-bum. The lawyers claimed prosecutors failed to provide an explanation on the connection between the datebooks and the charges against their client.
An’s defense team is also opposing the adoption of his datebooks as evidence, claiming that they were illegally seized during the prosecution’s raid.
Prosecutors criticized the defendants, accusing them of trying to block, by all means, any evidence disadvantageous to President Park Geun-hye from being presented in her impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court.
Last month, prosecutors had requested An to present as evidence 17 datebooks that he had written in while serving as a senior presidential secretary.
