The Prosecutors’ Investigation and Deliberation Committee will take place today in the case of the alleged illegal administration of Propofol by Samsung Electronics Vice President Lee Jae-yong. External experts will meet to deliberate on whether to continue the investigation and if the Vice President’s case is processed. I’ll connect the reporters. Reporter Kang Hee-kyung! Previously, the Citizens Committee of Prosecutors decided to open an investigative deliberation committee, but will the meeting take place today? Yes, the Prosecutors’ Investigation and Deliberation Committee will be held this afternoon at the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office to deliberate on the alleged illegal administration of Propofol by Samsung Electronics Vice President Lee Jae-yong. It has only been two weeks since the Citizens Committee of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office held a deputy deliberation committee to submit the case to the Investigation Review Committee. Previously, the prosecution began the investigation in earnest after receiving a request for an investigation from the National Rights Commission last January that Vice President Lee had been routinely administered propofol at a plastic surgery clinic. Vice President Lee has always denied the allegations, saying he has never used illegal drugs except for legal treatment. In the end, Vice President Lee requested a convocation of the Investigative Deliberation Committee and the Citizens Committee decided to convene the Investigation Deliberation Committee on the 11th. The Investigation Deliberation Committee is a system for deliberating on the continuation of the investigation and prosecution in cases where national suspicion has been raised or social attention has been raised. The ‘current affairs committee members’ who attended today’s meeting were selected from a list of 150-250 experts from various fields, including legal, academic and media, civic groups, and the Supreme Swordsman selected randomly to 15 members. There are 16 people, including the president, and this vice president is not required to attend. The committee members are expected to conclude by reviewing the opinions presented today by the Chief Prosecutor and Vice President Lee, and then deciding whether to continue the investigation and to initiate the process. If there is no consensus opinion, it will be decided with the approval of the majority of the attending members, excluding the president. However, the prosecution does not have to follow the recommendations of the Investigative Deliberation Committee. Vice President Lee requested an investigative deliberation committee last year despite suspicions of illegal succession of management rights, and received a recommendation to suspend the investigation and not prosecute. The prosecution did not follow the recommendations and handed the vice president to trial. However, as criticism of the “unreasonable prosecution” continued at the time, today’s recommendations have no choice but to influence the prosecution’s investigation, and the results are drawing attention.
