The court hearing on Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol’s request for suspension of disciplinary execution ended some time ago.
Legal representatives from both sides will briefly explain in front of reporters what stories have come and gone during the questioning.
First of all, let’s hear the story of Mr. Yoon’s special counsel.
[이완규 / 윤석열 검찰총장 특별변호인]I said that it is impossible to neglect this state of infringement of the rule of law even for a second because it fundamentally undermines the political neutrality and independence of the prosecution and has a serious violation of the rule of law in this country.
So I told them that there is an urgent need to quickly suspend the execution and recover from this condition.
Anyway, I have said a lot about the fact that this case is an individual matter of President Yoon Suk-yeol, but it is a fundamental issue that is linked to the entire state system, namely the political neutrality of the prosecution and the rule of law.
There was a response from the defendant on that, and anyway, I decided to reopen the questioning date at 3pm on the 24th, as he said he would not close the questioning today and would have another questioning date.
Q. Is it because you decided to interrogate one more time because the discussions between them are so different that there are many conflicting parties?
-As such, there are areas in the court that require more hearings, so I decided to question them again after preparing for those areas.
Q. Was there a problem in the judiciary to submit additional data or such a request?
-I can’t tell you in detail. Since this is a closed-door trial, I cannot tell you in detail, and what we can tell you is that anyway, we argue, we talked about the circumstances that require suspension in court. Our basic position is that if this case can be thrown out because the attorney general was investigated against the intent of the government by exercising unjust disciplinary power, that is, the political neutrality of the prosecutors is truly undermined and the reason for existence disappears. of the prosecutors. In that sense, I have said a lot that we must consider this case from the perspective of restoring the rule of law.
