I’ll connect the reporters. Reporter Kang Hee-kyung!
First, meetings of review prosecutors are being held today in various locations around the country.
Are statements being released one by one?
[기자]Today, a review meeting was scheduled in about 10 prosecution offices across the country.
Starting with the Uijeongbu district attorney’s office in the morning, the results of the meeting are announced one after another in the form of a statement.
First, the Uijeongbu District Prosecutor’s Office said that the Minister of Justice must maintain political neutrality and that illegal and unfair disciplinary claims and suspension of duties should be dropped.
He then criticized the provision as an act that undermines the independence and neutrality of the Office of the Prosecutor and shakes the foundations of the national judicial order, based on the administrative subordination of the Office of the Prosecutor.
The Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office of Cheonan District Prosecutors also requested that the exclusion order issued without accurate confirmation of the facts is illegal and unfair, and asked that the disciplinary claims and the exclusion be reconsidered.
The statements are expected to continue to be released in the afternoon while a review meeting takes place at the Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office.
Some time ago, prosecutors from the Dongbu District Prosecutor’s Office also issued a statement and requested a reconsideration, saying that the unusual order to exclude jobs was illegal and unfair.
The review meeting to be held this time is 7 years after 2013.
At the time, when Attorney General Chae Dong-wook expressed appreciation for the “ extramarital dispute ” and pressure from the Ministry of Justice, front-line prosecutors held a prosecutor’s review meeting and gave a collective opinion that the president’s resignation should be reconsidered.
The group action movement of the review prosecutors around this situation began in earnest yesterday.
The prosecutors of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office of the 34th period and under issued a statement in which they said that the provision of the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, not only violates the independence of the prosecution, but also seriously undermines the rule of law. , which is illegal and unfair.
Prosecutors from the Dongbu District Prosecutor’s Office of Busan District Prosecutors also complained that it was illegal or unreasonable to request disciplinary action against the president and order exclusion from duties when the facts were not sufficiently confirmed.
[앵커]Senior national prosecutors and prosecutors also made a statement asking Minister Chu Mi-ae to reconsider the provision.
[기자]This morning, six senior prosecutors from the prosecution released a statement in the form of a declaration.
There are six top prosecutors across the country and all the top prosecutors gathered their will.
They assert that the democratic control of the Attorney General by the Minister of Justice requires prudence and restraint, and that the procedures and methods are in line with the law.
However, he stressed there is concern that Chu’s subsequent actions will neutralize the president’s tenure and ultimately undermine the political neutrality of the prosecution.
In order not to distort or deny the authenticity of the tax reform, he requested that the minister enthusiastically recommend a cold and objective evaluation of the current situation and measures and reconsideration of judgment.
Prosecutors also made their voices.
17 prosecutors, including national prosecutors, made a statement and asked the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, to reconsider and correct the disciplinary claims and suspension of duties against the attorney general.
He also called for an open mind and to listen to the loyal voices of prosecutors on the front line, saying that most of them hope that such an unreasonable situation will be corrected so that they can faithfully work on the original prosecution duties.
Among the 18 prosecutors’ offices across the country, 15 district attorneys participated in the names of prosecutors across the country. Deputy Prosecutor Kim Ji-yong from Seoul High School and Deputy Prosecutor Lee Won-seok from Suwon High School were also appointed.
On the other hand, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office Kim Gwan-jeong, and the Seoul South District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Jeong-soo did not participate.
More than 20 intermediate prosecutors also requested disciplinary complaints against the attorney general and suspended the performance of his duties, claiming that they were illegal or unfair because they were carried out without sufficient facts.
In the central district prosecutor’s office, the 35th vice president of the Public Ministry sought their opinions.
They also requested that the actions of the Minister of Justice be taken against procedural justice and against the spirit of reform in the prosecution, requesting the withdrawal of disciplinary demands and the suspension of functions.
[앵커]Did you say that there was also a date to deliberate on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s discipline?
[기자]The disciplinary hearing has been set for the 2nd of the following month.
Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae said in a text message to reporters that the hearing was scheduled for the 2nd of the following month under the Prosecutors’ Discipline Law.
At the same time, they were asked to notify the presence of Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol or a special counsel who is the “disciplinary suspect.”
President Yoon Seok-yeol said that he was notified at 4 p.m. on the 2nd, and that it has not been decided whether or not he will attend, and that a special counsel will be present.
On the other hand, Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol seems to have received a full-blown legal response.
President Yoon first filed a request for stay of execution of the order to suspend his functions with the Seoul Administrative Court on the Internet around 10:30 last night.
Stay of enforcement is a court decision to temporarily stay enforcement of the provision if it is deemed that there is a risk of harm that is difficult to recover due to the administrative agency’s provision.
In other words, since the exclusion of Minister Chu from his duties was unfair, he asked the court to stop this effect.
Lawyer Seok-woong Lee, a former judge, and Wan-gyu Lee, former prosecutors, acted as legal representatives.
Yoon is reported to have emphasized the fact that the reasons specified by Minister Chu as the basis for the exclusion measure in the request for stay of execution were different from the facts, and in particular argued that the allegations of illegal inspections by of the court were largely distorted.
If the court accepts President Yoon’s request to stay the execution, Minister Chu’s exclusion order will cease to take effect until the outcome of the original lawsuit.
The filing of a ‘personal lawsuit’ is also scheduled today requesting the cancellation of the labor exclusion.
Even if the stay of execution is cited, the disciplinary committee is mostly made up of members recommended by the Minister of Justice, and severe disciplinary decisions, such as dismissal, are expected and after disciplinary action is expected to take place another court battle.
