The equity dispute still … Telegram conversation ‘Lee Jong-geun 2’ controversy
Suspected investigation related to Yoon Seok-Yeul’s investigation at Yong-Gu Lee’s office


[앵커]

Before Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol’s disciplinary committee, the controversy over the impartiality of the new Deputy Justice Minister Yong-gu Lee, a member of the deliberations, has not abated.

Following the fact that Telegram had had a conversation with the prosecutor in charge of the disciplinary committee, there were also suspicions that the investigation related to Yun’s prosecution took place at Lee’s private office.

The new Vice Justice Minister Lee Yong-gu, who will serve on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s Disciplinary Committee, emphasized fairness and neutrality from the first trip to work.

[이용구 / 법무부 차관 (그제) : 모든 것을 다시 검토해서 공정하고 투명하고 중립적으로 업무를 처리하도록 하겠습니다. 결과를 예단하지 마시고 지켜봐 주시기 바랍니다.]

However, there are constant disputes over the equity of this loan.

First, the problem arose with Lee’s mobile phone, which was seized by the Judicial Committee of the National Assembly.

In the Telegram group chat room, there was a conversation with a person named ‘Jong-geun Lee 2’ to discuss the disciplinary committee.

It was explained that this person was not the criminal Lee Jong-geun, an executive of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, but rather Park Eun-jung, a spouse of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

[이용구 / 법무부 차관 (어제 국회) : (대화방에 이종근은) 박은정 담당관이에요. (박은정 담당관이 왜 이종근으로….) 옛날에 보좌관 할 때 그 전화로 이종근 부장이 나한테 전화했어요. 그래서 저는 이종근 부장이 휴대전화가 두 개인가, 하고 ‘이종근2’로 저장했죠. 모르는 번호로 전화가 왔으니까….]

It was pointed out that it was not correct to argue with the person in charge of Park Eun-jung, who was in charge of the investigation by General Yun’s inspection.

Not only this, but last month when Park Eun-jung investigated former Justice Minister Park Sang-sang about Yoon’s allegations, it was revealed that he used Lee’s private office as a meeting point.

Vice Minister Lee explained that since last August, former Minister Park Sang-hee had to use a room that was reserved for the laboratory, explaining that he was not in the office at the time and was not aware of the investigation.

However, President Yoon’s side argues that participation in the disciplinary committee itself hurts fairness, so there is a high possibility that he will present a challenge before deliberation.

Vice Minister Lee said that if President Yoon’s side requested evasion, the disciplinary committee would explain the circumstances and that the procedure should be followed.

The presidential order that the legitimacy of President Yun’s disciplinary procedures is important has prompted Vice Minister Lee to assume the role of chairman of the disciplinary committee, but the noise surrounding justice in the deliberation process is unlikely to diminish.
