Most of the attendees “Difficult to admit the charges”
Lim Eun-jung “The decided conclusion, it’s not surprising”
檢Internal “Lin is a crime of leaking secret for public service”
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has unprodicted both former and incumbent prosecutors and two inmates who were suspected of giving false testimony to witnesses in the course of an investigation into the case of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook’s violation of the Political Fund Act. Prior to the final decision, the Supreme Prosecutors made this decision through an internal debate to objectively verify the results of the investigation by the Prosecutors Office.
The Supreme Prosecutor said on the 5th, “(Former Prime Minister Han) There is not enough evidence to admit the charges through a reasonable decision-making process for civil complaints, such as perjury to two witnesses related to the past trial and former and incumbent public prosecutors. I judged it to be.” This decision was made a day before the sixth day of the 10 years of the statute of prosecution among inmates Choi Mo and Kim Mo, who have been suspicious of perjury.
In addition to Choi, the Supreme Prosecutor decided not to prosecute Kim, who still has a statute of limitations, and former and current prosecutors who were suspicious of teaching them to perjury. However, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office said, “We plan to additionally review and process whether or not the prosecution officials have been dishonored in the course of the past investigation.”
Prosecutor Im Eun-jeong (the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office Policy Researcher) told Facebook immediately after the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office announced the decision to the media, “It is not surprising that it was the conclusion that was set when the job was transferred. I know how irrational the’rational decision-making process’ is,” he criticized the great sword. To summarize the coverage of the Dong-A Ilbo, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office held an internal meeting on the morning of the 5th to gather together prosecutors at the level of the vice-president of the Supreme Prosecutors who did not participate in the prosecution. It is said that the debate was held under the direction of Deputy Prosecutor Cho Nam-gwan. The chief prosecutor in the case, Chief Prosecutor Heo Jeong-soo, and all the prosecution researchers belonging to the Prosecutor’s Office 3 had an opinion that “the charges cannot be admitted”, but only Prosecutor Lim has insisted that “prosecution should be made”. Unlike Prosecutor Lim, most prosecution researchers who attended the debate were known to have expressed an opinion that “the charges are difficult to be admitted.”
Inside the prosecution, it was pointed out that Prosecutor Lim’s disclosure of the proceedings of the prosecution to Facebook constitutes a’crime of leaking secrets for public affairs’. On the 5th, Prosecutor Park Chul-wan of Andong Branch posted a message on the prosecution’s internal network, saying, “This act of the Prosecutor Lim has fatally damaged the fairness and credibility of the prosecution’s investigation into the case of a perjury teacher.”
