South Korea's Constitutional Court has unanimously rejected the impeachment of Choe Jae-hae, the chief state auditor, with three separate opinions noted. The decision allows Choe to resume his duties immediately. The court found that the Board of Audit and Inspection, under Choe's leadership, had complied with relevant laws during the audit of the presidential office relocation in 2022. The impeachment motion, led by the Democratic Party and passed by the National Assembly in December of the previous year, accused Choe of conducting a substandard audit of the presidential office relocation and engaging in a targeted audit against former Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Chairperson Jeon Hyun-hee. However, the Constitutional Court found no evidence to support these claims.
