The perpetrator of the so-called ‘Busan roundhouse kick’ incident was handed over to the prosecution on charges of threatening to retaliate against the victim.

The Daegu Regional Correctional Service’s Special Judicial Police Unit announced on the 29th that it had recently transferred Mr. Lee, in his 30s, to the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office, Western Branch, on charges of insult and violation of the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Crimes (threat of retaliation).

Mr. Lee was previously accused of threatening to retaliate against the victim after being released from prison, rather than showing remorse while imprisoned at the Busan Detention Center.

At that time, Mr. Lee was placed in solitary confinement for 30 days.

If the prosecution indicts Mr. Lee, it is highly likely that he will be tried as an inmate and that his sentence will be added.

Mr. Lee was sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Supreme Court on the 21st on charges of chasing the victim, who was returning home from Busanjin-gu, Busan, for about 10 minutes and attempting to kill her by beating her in the common entrance of an officetel at around 5 a.m. on May 22 last year (rape and other murder under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act). .
