It is reported on the 23rd that the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating allegations of corruption in the entrance exam of former Future Integration Party (now people’s power) member Na Kyung-won, recently requested a order of seizure and search and was dismissed by the court. In particular, it was noted that the court was known to have completely dismissed all the confiscation orders requested by the prosecution, rather than “partial dismissals”, and it was noted that it was a “poor investigation”.
In summary, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (Director Byeong-Seok Lee), which is investigating this case, requested a seizure and search warrant for Special Olympics Korea (SOK), where former legislator Na was the president and his daughter. she was an executive. However, it was said to have been discarded. It has not been confirmed whether the seizure order requested by the prosecution is the seizure order at “place” or “account” related to SOK. An official from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office replied, “It is difficult to confirm the content of the order.”
◇ Serious investigation after Chu Miae comments “I’ve never seen the will to investigate”
This case was criticized by the passport for the slowness of the prosecution’s investigation. In November last year, the Korean Democratic Party commented on the case of former lawmakers and criticized “the interest and criticism from the public is intense, but the prosecution strangely does not accelerate the investigation.” She noted that while the accuser has been investigated on several occasions, no investigations have been conducted against former legislators.
The same point came out on the 14th in the questionnaire of the National Assembly. Democratic Party lawmaker Chung Cheong-rae raised the case and asked Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae if the allegation was being investigated. Minister Chu smiled and replied, “I have never seen (President Yoon’s) willingness to investigate.”
Then, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office reassigned the case from 1 criminal party to 7 criminal party on the 15th and launched the investigation. The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office explained that it was “reorganized for the purpose of sharing functions after the mid-level prosecution officials earlier this month.”
Less than a week after the reassignment, all arrest warrants requested by the prosecution were dismissed. Inside and outside the prosecution, “As the investigation of the son of Minister Choo Mi-ae emerged as a problem, it was a case that shows how bad the investigation was under water” The words came out.
◇ The civic accusation group “If there is no investigation the accusation is requested”,
Meanwhile, civic groups, such as the Civil Society Research Institute for Civil Affairs, which accused me of the former legislator, held a press conference in front of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office the day before and demanded: “I must proceed with the investigation of the former legislator quickly “. They said: “In a year after the first indictment, only the investigating prosecutor has changed for the fifth time.” Even if accused, the accused has the privilege of not being investigated. “In the future, Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol and the prosecutor’s office of the Ministry of Justice and Supreme Prosecutors will also file a petition requesting a government inspection.”
Citizen organizations such as the Institute of Public Economy and Social Affairs have been accusing former legislators of suspected corruption in my son’s admissions, privatization of Special Olympics Korea (SOK), unfair employment and irregularities in private schools at Hongshin Academy, and they have requested an investigation.
However, there is criticism in the legal community that these groups’ claims of “deliberately delayed investigation” have little basis. After the indictment was filed, the prosecution staff were led by Cho Kook, a former Minister of Justice, and Chu Mi-ae. In addition, Lee Seong-yoon, current Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, was the head of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice, which supervises the prosecution staff in the second half of last year.
Additionally, Chief Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon, who took over as the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office in January, continues to lead the case as he was appointed as the Prosecutor’s Office in July. A prosecution official said: “Does it make sense to deliberately deal with the case of former lawmaker Lee, who supported Minister Chu’s position when confronting President Yoon in the Channel A case?”
