The prosecution investigating the suspicion of the illegal departure ban by former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui called for the first prosecutor from the Anti-Corruption and Power Department at the time of the ban.
It is interpreted that the investigation of’the suspicion of external pressure’ has started in earnest, but the investigation is expected to go above the line, including Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon.

The Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office called Prosecutor A, who belonged to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in the past, as a reference and investigated it.
This is a prosecutor who worked as a researcher at the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s Anti-Corruption and Power Department, which is the command department, when the Anyang branch of Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office investigated the alleged leakage of information on the ban on departure from former Vice Minister Kim Hak-eui at the request of an investigation by the Ministry of Justice in 2019.
Prosecutor A reportedly reported to the upper line after receiving a report containing the progress of the investigation from the Anyang branch.
In addition to the information leaked by former Vice Minister Kim, which was requested by the Ministry of Justice, this report is known to include information on unauthorized inquiries of immigration information and suspicion of Prosecutor Gyu-won Lee’s request for an illegal departure ban.
This is the content contained in the so-called ‘1st Public Interest Report’.
At the time, when the Anyang branch reported the information, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Anti-Corruption Department contacted them with the effect of “Stop the investigation beyond the scope of the investigation request,” and the suspicion that the actual investigation had been stopped was raised through the ‘2nd Public Interest Report’.
It is reported that the prosecution intensively investigated the process and the post-war situation after receiving the report against Prosecutor A at the time.
It is known that Prosecutor A only delivered the report, but replied with the intention that he did not know well otherwise.
Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office last month confiscated and searched the anti-corruption department of the Great Swordsman, and recently, prosecutors from the Anyang District Office investigation team called for investigation.
In particular, this investigation is the first summons of the anti-corruption line of the Great Sword at the time, and it can be interpreted that the investigation into the’external pressure suspicion’ was in full swing.
As the head of the anti-corruption and power department, who was in charge of reporting and commanding the investigation at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office at the time, was Lee Seong-yoon, the current Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, the prosecution’s investigation is also expected to be steadily headed for the’upper line’.
