According to video,
a woman comes to the clothing store's
cash register.
The woman who walks in grabs and
shoves a clothing store employee
wearing a pink T-shirt,
then slaps another employee on the cheek
that has been making up the situation.

This is an assault incident
that took place on the 9th, april 2021
at a clothing store in
Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
Ms. A, the wife of the Belgian ambassador
to the Republic of Korea,
Peter Lescui, assaulted
a clothing store employee.


The ambassador's wife, A,
accidentally wore the same clothes
as the clothes sold at this clothing store,
but the clerk misunderstood that
Ms. A just went out
without paying the money
after trying on the clothes,
and there was a controversy.

The clothing store employee apologized
for being mistaken,
but Ms. A was found to have assaulted
another employee who had been in a fight
because of her anger.

Ten days have already passed.
How is this case being dealt with now?


The Seoul Yongsan Police Department,
which is investigating the case,
said it had arrested Ms. A
on charges of assault.
The police explained
that Ms. A was charged
after investigating the victim
and checking her facts through
CCTV checks.

The problem is an investigation into Ms. A.

A police official said,
"Last week,
Ms. A was notified of her attendance,
but there is no answer yet."
He added that this case is subject to
the exemption privilege.

The Vienna Convention
on Diplomatic Relations provides
indemnification privileges
for dispatched diplomatic ambassadors
and their families.
They cannot be arrested or detained.
Accordingly, the police are investigating,
but if Mr. A refuses to attend until the end,
ts. re is no way to do anything,
and there is a high possibility
that the case will be terminated
with no right to prosecute.

For another information, in 2017,
a Mexican colonel
who worked at the Mexican embassy
in Korea was reported to
have sexually assaulted a female
embassy employee.

The Seoul Jongno Police Department,
which investigated the case,
notified the colonel of the summons twice,
but the colonel left for Mexico
in July of that year,
which became controversial.


Victim "she didn't apologize."


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said
on the 16th that,
when the incident became known,
"we are seriously dealing with
the activities related to
the diplomatic mission in Korea,"
and "we will actively cooperate
with the investigating authorities
to respond to this case as well."

However,
more than 10 days have passed
since the incident,
and Ms. A has not even apologized
to the victim of the assault.

The victim said in a call with reporter,
"It is understandable that
Ms. A is angry that
she has treated her as a thief,
but that does not justify the violence."

She said to the people
in the service business that
this could happen again at any time,
so she hope that this incident will not
cause similar things to happen.


Embassy of Belgium in Seoul,
"The Ambassador's wife is hospitalized
for cerebral infarction"


The Belgian Embassy in Seoul,
which has not disclosed
its position so far,
made its position this afternoon.

The Belgian embassy said,
"Since the beginning of last week,
Ms. A has been admitted
to the hospital with a cerebral infarction.
The embassy hopes
that Ms. A will recover quickly and
respond to the police investigation
soon."

"(In connection with this case),
we deplorate the racist messages
and hate speeches posted on
various websites such as
the embassy's Facebook account,
and these actions are unacceptable
and must be stopped."

Belgian ambassador's wife
who hasn't apologized for
more than 10 days of assault


" If you're an ambassador,
you should act educated.
By the way,
all Chinese people are ignorant."

60s, in Korea was born in Beijing, China,
and is said to be a trainee of Taoism.

punishment is impossible in Korea
due to the privilege of diplomats.
However, there is way for investigation
and punishment by belgium.
People who watched this video
had a reaction saying that
she was looked very familiar
with being beaten,
and often used violence,
there was also a discriminatory reaction
that they understood that
she was Chinese.
