Deputy Director Kim met with reporters at 9 am on the 29th before going to work at the Gwacheon Government Complex and answered the question, “I have doubts about the investigative power because lawyer Yeo Un-guk was a judge.”
On the previous day (28th), Deputy Chief Kim suggested a female lawyer who was a judge as deputy chief.
Chief Kim said, “Of the 25 prosecutors, including the head of the Ministry of Public Service and the deputy, the number of prosecutors cannot exceed one-half. A maximum of 12 people can be appointed, including the chief prosecutor,” he said. “It should be reviewed by the Personnel Committee, but in the personal opinion of the Director, I expect those 12 people who have experience in investigation including special investigations to apply.” In addition, “We expect to be supported by those with more than 15 or 20 years of prosecutor’s level or legal experience. I was considerate that I could apply.” Deputy Commissioner Kim replied, “I will review” the question of whether he would ask for an espionage for the suspicion of interfering with the inspection of the 1st Wolseong nuclear power plant. If the prosecution first disposes of the case of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 or the case of former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak’s case before the investigation conditions were established, the question is, “Is there only a personal opinion of me? I will listen to the opinions of the prosecutors and decide with respect.”
Deputy Director Kim continued, “I expect that the appointment of the deputy will be made as soon as possible.” It also revealed his intention to refer to foreign cases and constitutional decisions such as the UK Company’s Squadron Investigation Office when setting up the espionage rules.
