“Before and after the meeting, complaints from ‘Samsung Bio’ were received and distributed”
秋 “Political neutrality must be maintained, the president’s confidence must be affected”
Including disciplinary grounds for violations of the obligation to cooperate with personal inspection

Minister Choo Mi-ae said that it was inappropriate contact and grounds for disciplinary action when Yoon Seok-yeol met with the key owner of a media company during the days of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office.

He stressed that his comments to think about how to serve the people after retirement also undermined his political neutrality as attorney general.

Minister Chu also pointed to the misconduct charges that Yun had improper contact with the owner of the medium.

In November 2018, when President Yoon was serving as the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, he met with JTBC President Hong Seok-hyun in a bar.

Before and after the meeting, a complaint was filed with the prosecution in the Samsung Biologics fraudulent accounting case, and the case was assigned to Special Section 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office.

Regarding this, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office explained that it was not a ground for disciplinary action in reporting it to President Moon Moo-il, a senior at the time, as President Hong had no influence in the case.

[윤석열 / 검찰총장 (지난달 23일) : 퇴임하고 나면, 제가 소임을 다 마치고 나면 우리 사회와 국민을 위해서 어떻게 봉사할지….]

The statements were cited as the basis for disciplinary action that seriously compromised his reputation as an attorney general who must remain politically neutral.

Minister Chu said a statement interpreted as a statement of political participation after Yoon’s retirement, and said he did not take active steps to resolve the distrust of political neutrality despite the announcement of first place at the polls.

In response, the Supreme Prosecutor’s side drew a line that the media might interpret him that way, but that Yun never said that he had ever been a politician.

The reason for the disciplinary action was that President Yoon himself violated his obligation to cooperate as a subject of inspection and interfered with the inspection.

The Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice asked to discuss the schedule of the visit, but on several occasions they clearly indicated their intention to refuse.

[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 이 사안은 비위가 중대하고 복잡하여 감찰 조사 원칙상 비위 혐의자인 검찰총장에 대한 대면조사가 반드시 필요한 사안이었습니다.]

In response, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office stated that the Ministry of Justice displayed a rather ambiguous attitude as to whether it was a formal prosecution or not, and stated that it had not been notified of the specific reasons and considerable reasons for initiating the prosecution.
