Prosecutors investigate accuser of the May 18 Memorial Foundation for "Suspicious of Roh Tae-woo's slush fund."

Prosecutors have launched a full-fledged investigation by calling in an official from the May 18 Memorial Foundation, who accused former President Roh Tae-woo's family of concealing slush funds.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office today (26th) summoned former President Roh's wife, Kim Ok-sook, director of the art center Noh So-young, and Roh Jae-heon, director of the East Asian Cultural Center, as accusers to investigate.

Earlier in May, the second trial court for Choi and Roh's divorce ruled that Roh's contribution to the group's growth should be recognized as Roh's slush fund flowed to Choi Jong-hyun, former chairman of SK Group, and became seed money for the group.

On the 14th of last month, the foundation filed a complaint with the prosecution on charges of violating the Crime Profit Concealment Regulation Act, saying that Director Roh self-recognized the substance of the slush fund and estimated the scale to be around 126.6 billion won.
