What specifically did former president Bong-Hyeon Kim reveal?

[기자]

Former President Kim Bong-Hyun has released a five-page A4 entry statement to the media.

First of all, it is written that last year, Mr. A, an attorney for the whole building, gave a drink worth 10 million won to three regular prosecutors.

At the time, they were introduced as prosecutors who would later join Lime’s investigation team, and he also wrote that one joined the South District Prosecutor’s Office.

The prosecution’s investigation process was also mentioned.

He criticized the politician and former ruling party politician Kang Ki-jeong, saying he received an offer that he would be tried on bail and that the investigation was of the kind “ fit to fit ” with an established direction.

He also claimed that he handed over hundreds of millions of won to opposition politicians for the ‘Lima Request’, but added that no related investigation was conducted.

By the way, did the attorney for the prosecution mentioned in former President Kim’s reveal make his stand?

[기자]

Attorney A, a former prosecutor, vigorously rebutted Kim’s argument and said it was foolish in a call with YTN.

Earlier, former President Kim claimed that he had heard from Attorney A that he had to catch former political director Kang Ki-jeong.

Lawyer A explained that former President Kim mentioned the suspected lobbying and told the prosecution to tell the truth, but did not mention any specific politicians such as Kang Ki-seok, former political director.

Additionally, when former President Kim served alcohol to prosecutors through Prosecutor A last year and claimed that one of them had joined Lime’s investigation team, he refuted that the drinking party was a meeting of attorneys from the prosecution.

He added that even when the rhyme crisis hits, he expects the investigation team to form, and it is impossible to know in advance who will participate.

Attorney A emphasized that he had not contacted the Southern District Attorney’s Office after Lime’s investigation began, and that the claim that he received a gift from a luxury bag was also not true.

Are there conflicting claims and is the Ministry of Justice conducting an inspection?

[기자]

As former President Kim Bong-hyun’s revelation contained suspicions of lobbying against prosecutors, the Justice Ministry took an immediate stance.

The Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, ordered a direct inspection to the Ministry of Justice.

Minister Chu used the term ‘shock’ for ex-President Kim’s revelation, listing the suspicions that would be subject to inspection.

Suspicion that head prosecutors and former head investigators received entertainment and gifts through a former lawyer, suspected that the hospitalized prosecutor participated as head of the investigation to conceal the illegal investigation from the prosecution, and even after being reported for receiving a large sum of money or money from opposition politicians. As you suspect you didn’t.

As mentioned above, the investigation of the related suspicions is carried out directly by the Ministry of Justice.

In the first place, the prosecution carried out its own examination to guarantee autonomy.

However, when former Minister Cho Guk stepped down last year, the Ministry of Justice revised the directive to make it difficult to recognize the impartiality of the prosecution.

Since the suspicion of misconduct by prosecutors is the main content of the disclosure, it appears that it was considered difficult to discover the truth if the prosecution was entrusted to the prosecution.

In this regard, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office has not revealed any other position.

The Ministry of Justice is expected to carry out full inspections by investigating the relevant individuals.

So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over.
