[초유의 검찰총장 징계]Disciplinary Committee’two months of honesty’ after marathon deliberation
After increasing the number of disciplinary grounds to 8, 4’disciplinary grounds’ including political neutrality violations
2 months suspended, returned before the end of the term
Privilege was taken, but the water level was adjusted. It seems to have considered the possibility of suspension of execution when dismissed
-“I will receive the opinions of the people on the amount of disciplinary measures (quantified and determined).”
At around 4:10 am on the 16th, Jung Han-jung, acting as the disciplinary committee chairman of the Ministry of Justice (Professor of the Graduate School of Law at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies) explained to the reporters that he had made a two-month decision on the suspension of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and said, “If you are not satisfied, please understand. Deputy Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu also left the government building of the Ministry of Justice after saying, “I thought a lot and made a conclusion from various aspects and various angles.”
The conclusion reached after a 17-hour marathon deliberation by the disciplinary committee against the incumbent prosecutor general in history was two months of suspension. In the light of the fact that on the 24th of last month, Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae enforced disciplinary action, saying, “I was shocked beyond speech by confirming many serious and serious misconduct of President Yoon.
○’Autumn Line’ Shin Seong-sik fills the disciplinary quorum and abstains
-The second deliberation of the disciplinary committee began at 10:30 am on the 15th, and the disciplinary decision process began at 9:10 pm after the request for evasion of the disciplinary committee and the examination of witnesses were completed. Four members, including Acting Assistant Jung, Vice Minister Lee, Anjin, a professor at Chonnam National University Law School, and Shin Seong-shik, head of the anti-corruption force at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, discussed the disciplinary status of Yoon for about 7 hours until 4 am the next day. The committee members took turns deciding △recognized △regardless of △no charge on the individual reasons for disciplinary action by President Yoon.
At the time when Minister Chu filed for the disciplinary action of President Yun, the disciplinary committees divided the “Channel A case and the former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook’s interception of surveillance” into three, increasing the number of reasons for disciplinary action to eight. It was determined that four of these were recognized. The disciplinary committee admitted four reasons for disciplinary action: suspicion of illegal inspection by the court, interfering with the inspection and investigation in the Channel A case, and dignity and loss of trust in political neutrality as the prosecutor general.
“The committee members each gave a variety of opinions, from dismissal opinions to suspension for 4 months and suspension for 6 months,” said Acting Jeong.
In this process, it is known that Shin, who is classified as the so-called’Chumiae Line’, withdrew from the final disciplinary vote. Shin has been accused of being accused by a prosecutor as the source of the KBS misinformation that’Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon conspired with former reporter Lee Dong-jae of Channel A during the process of covering Shillazen’. For this reason, General Yoon’s side filed an appeal against Shin on the day of the disciplinary committee, but was dismissed. Director Shin said he expressed his position that “the charges are not admitted” for most of Yun’s individual disciplinary reasons. In the end, it was decided by Acting Chung, Vice Minister Lee, and Professor Ahn that the two-month disciplinary action of President Yoon was final.
Regarding Director Shin’s abstention, the prosecution pointed out that “they have already played a role in meeting the quorum of the disciplinary committee.” In the passport, there is also an atmosphere of rebuke, saying, “Since Director Shin is a prosecutor, he raised General Yun’s hand.”
○ “2 months honesty, meticulous calculation results”
With a two-month disciplinary level of suspension, there are also evaluations in the legal community that “there is a detailed calculation that includes the possibility of a court’s suspension of execution of disciplinary measures, etc., reducing post-storms and guaranteeing a term of office of two years, while stealing the authority of President Yun.”
-According to the Prosecutor’s Discipline Act, the disciplinary action against President Yoon is made by President Moon Jae-in at the request of Minister Chu. If an application for suspension of execution is cited again after six months of suspension or dismissal, the court overturns the president’s decision.
An official from the legal profession said, “A number of procedural issues were pointed out by the Prosecution Committee of the Ministry of Justice, and the disciplinary committee seems to have made a careful decision as even the court raised the hand of President Yun.”
Yoon’s side has already pointed out procedural issues such as the unfairness of the disciplinary committee composition and the lack of protection rights, and has predicted a legal dispute over the results of the disciplinary committee. An official from the passport said, “The disciplinary officers repeatedly struggled with the issue of determining the level of discipline. “I know that only the will of Minister Chu’s disciplinary action was consistent and strong.”
In an interview with a media outlet on the same day, Acting Chung said, “The two-month discipline for honesty was a decision that took into account the contribution of President Yun. I also thought about the remaining terms of President Yoon,” he said. “I honestly regret taking over this job, but I decided it fairly.”
