[Financial News, Jeonju = Kang In] A campaign worker who obstructed the operation of a rival candidate's campaign vehicle during the election process has been referred to prosecutors.
Jeonju Wansan Police Station said on the 28th that it had referred A to prosecutors without detention on suspicion of violating the Public Official Election Act.
On June 1, A, who was then a campaign worker for Lee Won-taek, a candidate for governor of Jeonbuk State, allegedly entered and lay beneath the campaign vehicle of rival candidate Kim Gwan-young on a street in Hyoja-dong, Jeonju, disrupting his campaign.
Police referred the case, judging that A likely understood, at least tacitly, that the act could interfere with the election.
