The Minister of Justice, Choo Mi-ae, is trying to capture Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, and the cause is the reform of the prosecution service. However, Yun said that he was opposed to the prosecution reform, or at least apparently took no action. If so, then Minister Chu must reasonably explain to the public why it is impossible to reform the indictment while Yoon is present.
Although Minister Chu has suggested the basis for “dismissing General Yoon to reform the prosecution” On the 16th, when the statement of the imprisonment of Kim Bong-hyun was revealed, the core of the Lime Asset Management situation, the Ministry of Justice urged the attorney general, saying: “The attorney general can not rule out relevance.” The statement reveals the strategy of the political prosecutor’s office to select the objectives for the investigation based on political affiliation. Political prosecutors are subject to reform, but if Yun was involved in it, then Minister Chu seems to be trying to say that it is not justified to take his command and remove him from the prosecution.
However, Minister Chu wrote on Facebook five days later: “I should have said introspection and apology as a commander, whether I knew it or not.” When Yoon denied the suspicion, saying it was “slanderous slander,” he took a step outside. It is very important whether the political investigation of the prosecution was carried out with the consent or direction of the president, that is, whether it was known or not. This is because the fact that Kim Bong-hyun’s revelation emphasizes the need to reform the prosecution does not lead to a reason to immediately expel Yun. The rationale for attacking Kim Bong-hyun as an opportunity to expose Kim Bong-hyun while President Yoon’s participation is not confirmed adds to the suspicion that there is more than just prosecution reform on Minister Chu’s mind. .
The prosecution reform is just an excuse, and many people think it is because Yoon continues to investigate the regime unfavorably. Yun seems to feel similarly. On the 22nd, he replied, “Isn’t that a familiar story?” To the question “If (the prosecutor) will be relegated if we investigate the living power,” he answered in the state audit of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.
On the other hand, President Yoon also had the opportunity to clarify the situation. On the 22nd, Yoon devalued Kim Bong-hyun’s reveal saying, “I have a story of a person who is expected to be medium-sized …” If it was clear that he was not involved, he had to answer, True, our prosecution is still far away. I will take the position of investigating. “
The same goes for the Optimus Asset Management fraud case. This is the case where Yoon’s ‘subordinates’ were not charged when he was the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office. It may be incompetence or job abandonment that does not detect signs of tremendous fraud. When asked about the background of the acquittal, Yoon evaded responsibility, saying, “The report was not released because it was a manager’s decision.” If he said, “I will take a closer look at the problem and take responsibility for any mistakes as commander,” at least it would not have added suspicion to the authenticity of his reforms.
The minister hides his guts, finds the reason, bites and hangs up. The attorney general seems to reject the reform due to organizational selfishness. Right now, I can’t help but think what the two fights are for. In the end, it doesn’t matter who wins. The question of whether the minister’s investigation and command was illegal was also out of focus. Let the two meet separately and conclude whether the president is a subordinate of the minister or not.
What matters is whether this society can institutionalize a system that decentralizes and controls the power of the prosecution. And more importantly, it is the accumulation of social experiences that do not tolerate the inertia that the democratic value of the procedure to get there is damaged just because the purpose of judicial reform is justified. The actions of the two people move in the opposite direction.
