Cho Kuk’s Brother Refuses to Show Up to Arrest Warrant Hearing
The embattled ROK Justice Minister’s brother pulled the oldest excuse in the book by claiming his back hurt:
Once prosecutors entirely finish their questioning of Chung, they’re expected to decide whether to file for a pretrial detention warrant like they did for Cho’s younger brother, who faces allegations of receiving hundreds of millions of won in bribes in exchange for offering jobs to teachers at a middle school operated by the Cho family.
Cho’s brother was supposed to appear at a court in Seoul on Tuesday morning to attend his warrant hearing and offer self-defense oral testimony, but he chose not to show up, citing physical pain after a recent surgery on his lower spine.
The court was expected to decide whether to detain him late Tuesday night after reviewing documents on his case.

You can read more at the link, but Cho’s brother is probably trying to drag this out as long as possible to allow his brother to have more time to gather the power and influence necessary to squash the investigation.
Let me get this straight…family is most important in Korean culture, his wife, his brothers & daughter are all in legal trouble and he is squeaky clean?
Doc, he’s every bit as much a “familial piety” guy as Kim Jong Un… He just doesn’t have access to hookers with poison, wild dogs, or antiaircraft artillery… Plus his back hurts.
His back hurts because he is soooo crooked. commie criminal family.
I can’t wait to see the ol’ neck brace and wheelchair newspaper picture.
