– ‘Lee Sang-ryu’ is being detected between the Blue House, Justice Minister Park Beom-gye, and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, surrounding the key prosecution officers who will be held as early as this week. In response to the request for a “Shin Sang-pil penalty” for “Big 4”, which is a key position in the legal affairs and prosecutors’ office, President Yoon appeared that the Blue House delivered his intention to retain many key pro-government executives, including Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Lee Seong-yoon, through Minister Park. There is a possibility that the meeting and personnel consultations between Ministers Park and President Yoon, scheduled for the beginning of this week, will be missed.

According to the JoongAng Ilbo coverage on the 31st of last month, after setting the principles and standards for the personnel of the prosecutor’s office over the weekend, Minister Park was planning to meet with General Yoon for the first two days to finalize the personnel plan, but it was found that the date of the personnel consultation was not confirmed until this day. . In accordance with the principle of’personal punishment’, President Yoon said earlier that he requested personnel from the key prosecutors who had a lot of noise in the command and control of the prosecutor’s office or the operation of the institution.
In fact, it means to replace’Big 4′, including Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Lee Seong-yoon and Sim Jae-cheol, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice. It is also reported that it included a request for replacement of some of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s staff who did not follow the command of the president. This means that his staff, including the chief prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office Lee Jong-geun, should take responsibility for leading the disciplinary action of the prosecutor general, and consequently making President Moon Jae-in apologize to the public. As the court judged that former Minister Chu Mi-ae’s request for suspension of duties and disciplinary action by the prosecutor-general was unfair, it is interpreted as a means of returning to the’parental system’ from the’plant president’.
However, in response to Mr. Yoon’s request for personnel such as this, the Blue House said that over the weekend, “we must complete the reforms of the prosecution in power institutions,” and “we will retain the leadership of reform within the prosecution.”
On the day of his inauguration, Minister Park seems to have been first delivered by Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House on the 28th of last month. After postponing the official inauguration ceremony to the 1st, Minister Park visited the eastern detention center in Seoul, where the coronavirus outbreak occurred, and his actions were obvious. After finishing the schedule at 3:50 pm on the same day at the Dongbu Detention Center in Seoul, he did not return to the Ministry of Justice and then digested the closed schedule. It was said that Minister Park met with an official at the Blue House to discuss the prosecution’s personnel.
On the morning of the next day, on the morning of the 29th, Minister Park went to work at the Ministry of Justice and said, “We will set the standard for personnel management by the end of the week, and I think we can meet (President Yoon) with the principles and standards of my personnel by the beginning of next month.” An agreement was announced.
Minister Park visited the Blue House in person on the same afternoon to receive an appointment letter. President Moon Jae-in conferred a letter of appointment to Minister Park, emphasizing, “The reform of the power agency (prosecutor) is not over. We must continue to develop further.” As if responding to this, Minister Park visited the National Daejeon Prefectural Center on the 31st and wrote in the guestbook, “Please refrain from helping the guards of the Korean government and the prosecution reform.”

If Minister Park follows the Blue House as will, there is a possibility that the so-called “Prosecutors Big 4” will remain in office or be filled with other pro-government line personnel, including Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Lee Seong-yoon, Sim Jae-cheol, the Prosecutor’s Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, Shin Seong-sik, the chief prosecutor of the anti-corruption force, and Lee Jeong-hyun, the chief prosecutor’s office. high. Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon, who has usually been in office for one year, was retained from Personnel in August of last year, and the term of office was extended. Prosecutor Lee has recently been criticized by prosecutors for his unsuspecting approval of Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon in relation to the investigation of the Channel A case, followed by suspicion of illegal withdrawal of Kim Hak-ei, former Vice Minister of Justice, and allegations of abuse of authority related to the discipline of President Yoon.
Regarding this, the prosecution’s internal protest is that “If District Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon remains in office again, it will block all major government-related investigations and receive recognition for the crushed ball.” Prosecutor Lee, a junior at Kyunghee University of President Moon Jae-in, was promoted to the prosecutor’s office after the inauguration of the current government and took on three positions in’Big 4’following the chief prosecutor of the anti-corruption power department → the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice.

It is unknown whether the main staff of the great swordsman who participated in the exodus of General Yoon will be replaced. Inside the prosecution, chief prosecutor Lee Jong-geun, chief prosecutor Shin Seong-sik, chief prosecutor of anti-corruption force, and chief prosecutor Lee Jeong-hyun, chief prosecutor of public investigation are being considered for replacement. Among them, Criminal Chief Lee Jong-geun is also suspected of providing incorrectly factual data to write “Lee Yong-gu, Vice Minister of Justice” in the Hankyoreh Newspaper.
Director Shin anti-corruption force is on the prosecution line for suspicion of reporter Han Dong-hoon’s transcript misinformation in relation to the Channel A case. Also participated, a controversy arose. It is also known that Lee Jung-hyun, the head of the Public Investigation Department, also submitted a statement unfavorable to Yoon on charges of interfering with the investigation of the Channel A case among Yoon’s disciplinary reasons. An official of the prosecution said, “If the president prevents even the reorganization of his staff, it means that the remaining five months of office until July 24 will be tied to the plant chief.”
The greeting of the Prosecutor’s Office Chief of the Ministry of Justice, Shim Jae-cheol, who directed the disciplinary claim of President Yoon is also noteworthy. The Prosecutor’s Office Chief Shim reported the documentary “Analysis of Major Judicial Discipline” of the Supreme Prosecutor, which was the main reason for the suspension of President Yoon’s duties, and has been designated as the head of the disciplinary proceedings of President Yoon, the request for investigation, and the seizure of the Supreme Swordsman. He actually attended the disciplinary committee as a witness.
Justice Minister Park Beom-gye said, “It is not yet in the stage of disclosure” regarding the prosecution’s’Big 4’personnel plan for the appointment of District Prosecutors Office Lee Seong-yoon. An official from the Cheongwadae Civil Affairs Office did not respond to the JoongAng Ilbo’s inquiries about whether or not Lee will remain as the district prosecutor.
