On the morning of the third day, when Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol visited Daegu High School and the District Attorney’s Office, a flag in front of the Supreme Attorney’s Office in Seocho-dong, Seoul, was fluttering in the wind. [연합뉴스]
A case involving practicing prosecutors, including Seoul Central District Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon, suspected of exerting external pressure in the investigation of Kim Hak-ei’s illegal departure ban from the Ministry of Justice, was transferred yesterday. to the criminal investigation office of senior public officials. The Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office, which has been investigating this case, explained: “It was not because of the parties’ request for relocation to the airlift, but because they transferred the party related to the prosecutor in accordance with Article 25, paragraph 2 of the Air Transport Law. “. The provision stipulates that “if another investigating agency finds a crime of a high-ranking public official by a prosecutor, the case should be directed to the air bridge.” He said he had no choice but to obey the law, and this caused a serious collateral effect that caused the prosecution’s investigation on its way to the top to stop doubting.
This situation was anticipated. It was from the moment that the gigantic ruling party stepped forward and granted both the right to request court orders and the right to investigate and prosecute the prosecution, and gave prosecutors and police the right to ‘force the transfer of the case’ to create a super powerful investigative agency. As similar cases can occur one after another, it is necessary to prepare countermeasures as supplementing the law.
In particular, during the prosecution’s investigation, prosecutor Lee Gyu-won, suspected of falsifying an emergency withdrawal request, and prosecutor Lee Gyu-won, suspected of exerting external pressure on the Anyang district office, declared themselves : “Please transfer my case to the air-lift office,” It is essential. This is because practicing prosecutors have expressed an outspoken position that they trust the airlift investigation more than the prosecution investigation. Furthermore, this district attorney is not the head of the largest prosecutor’s office in the country.
It is likely that your request to transfer to the airlift is due to the expectation that the airlift, launched by the passport, will make a decision in your favor, and the undervaluation of the investigative capacity of the airlift, which is not equipped with a mission. , at the same time.
Above all, in reality, the biggest problem is that the air defense agency is not prepared to launch an investigation immediately. It is the stage of recruiting prosecutors, only the chief of the air chiefs and deputies has been appointed. The composition of the personnel committee is also delayed because the opposition party did not send a list of recommendations for the members of the personnel committee of the Ministry of Public Function. The Air Defense Ministry explained that the first investigation can be carried out as early as April. If the Airborne Department breaks the case with the case in a cabinet, the realization of justice will inevitably be delayed. It does not conform to the intention of establishing punctual punishment for high-ranking officials by quickly revealing substantive truths.
Unless the air defense agency plans to crush the alleged prosecutor’s case as is, it is correct to refer this case to the Suwon District Attorney’s Office as soon as possible. Article 24, paragraph 3 of the Air Transport Law, which stipulates that “the agency can be transferred to the shipping agency in consideration of the content and scale of the case”, fits perfectly in this case. Public Affairs Minister Kim Jin-wook also said yesterday that “(the case) will not remain silent.” People are watching.
