“It is difficult to tell a prosecutor who considers identity to be an investigation,’don’t investigate.’” (Yong-gu Lee, Vice Minister of Justice)

“I am worried that you have not been so nervous about your perception or understanding of the people.” (Lee Su-jin, a member of the Democratic Party)

At the National Assembly on the 12th, there was a tremendous scene where members of the Democratic Party Prosecutors’ Reform Committee (Chairman Yoon Ho-jung) drove the vice minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu. The Prosecutors’ Reform Committee invited Vice Minister Lee and Nam-joon Kim, former head of the Legal Affairs and Prosecutors’ Reform Commission under the Ministry of Justice to the 4th meeting. The intention is to check the progress of reforms so far. However, at the meeting, a craziness insistence that the prosecutor’s right to investigate was promptly deprived was poured out.
During the question-and-answer process, Vice Minister Lee said, “The prosecutors came in to investigate, and that’s the reality.” Deputy Minister Lee said, “(Prosecutor) came in (to the prosecution) to investigate, and he said,’Do not investigate now. It is not simple to say, “Do not investigate, since you can only investigate the six crimes now and you have to maintain the total volume of investigation.” I said.
Then, former judge Lee Su-jin (Seoul Dongjak-eul) said, “(People) are very texting members of the National Assembly to abolish the prosecution’s right to investigate. He said, “I still have a little more understanding of the perception of the people who are outside.” Then, Vice Minister Lee replied, “I have chosen an investigative prosecutor in a way that respects those who are good at investigating, and I wanted to tell you that the process of converting prosecutors with such identities is a really difficult task.”

The ruling party that even brought out the Lime and post-nuclear investigation

Rep. Kim Yong-min, who issued a bill to create a’public prosecution office’ by separating the prosecution’s right to investigate and prosecution early, made a direct investigation into the Lime Asset Management case. Rep. Kim said, “Looking at the recent Lyme case, it seems that it is not working properly to prevent (the prosecution) from conducting a direct investigation. He argued that the Lime case did not go back that way, although it is possible to report it through the anti-corruption manager (to the president) and to investigate directly after approval.”
It is a reminder that the Southern District Prosecutor of Seoul in May of last year skipped the then chief prosecutor, Shim Jae-cheol (currently the Prosecutor General of the Ministry of Justice), and then directly referred to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol to the situation of the investigation of opposition personnel involved in the Lime case. At that time, the atmosphere of the passport that heated up, saying, “Investigation of President Yoon’s opposition party personnel,” eventually led to the deprivation of the prosecutor general’s investigation and command authority (last October).
In response, Vice Minister Lee answered, “There is a possibility of direct investigation (in the case of the prosecutor’s office designation) in the provisions of the office of the prosecutors’ office.” I think it’s different from that.” Attending this day Prosecutors General Sim Jae-cheol said, “We believe that the criminal justice department should revise the law for the content that cannot be directly investigated.”

Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min abolished the prosecutor’s office last month and proposed a bill to enact a prosecution law. One of the top members of the Democratic Party said, “Kim Yong-min hasn’t discussed concretely yet, but the sudden deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate could lead to an investigation gap, so many are cautious.” Reporter Oh Jong-taek
– Rep. Hwang Unha, a former policeman, said, “The reduction of prosecution powers is a reduction in direct investigation. I just changed my name, isn’t it the same thing I do?” Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office arrested and prosecuted a government official of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy who was suspected of manipulating the economic feasibility of Wolseong nuclear power plant No. 1 as a basis for demonstrating the necessity of deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate.
Only Rep. Kim Hoi-jae, a former prosecutor’s office, raised a cautious argument. Rep. Kim said, “I am very concerned about the direct investigation and even prosecute it, but for me, who has worked in the field, it is a pity,” he said. “It is difficult to separate the two in a complex case by giving both the investigation and prosecution functions to the Airborne Division It’s difficult.” Rep. Kim continued, “If the investigation and prosecution are separated, it is practically difficult to maintain prosecution.”
After the meeting, Rep. Ogi-hyung, a former lawyer at a large law firm, asked the reporter, “Isn’t there any disagreement over the immediate separation of prosecutors and police officers between the Democratic Party and the Ministry of Justice?” We are accumulating discussions on which route (separation) should be made, and we will make the discussion concrete.”
