Special Investigation into BBK Scandal Set To Continue

The Constitutional Court ruled against the appeal filed by LMB’s six aides that the special investigation into the president-elect is unconstitutional, and cleared the way for independent prosecutors to continue their probe into the so-called ‘BBK scandal.’

The court, however, determined it is against the constitution that a witness can be summoned without warrant in this specific case, thus ensuring Lee Myung-bak can be only called into the prosecutor’s office for investigation only after the warrant is issued. But the investigation has its own limit since law stipulates president is not subject to criminal investigation.
