Attorney General “Against the Heavy Water Administration”
Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol came to the fore by openly opposing the establishment of a serious crime investigation bureau (investigation bureau) that the government and the ruling party are vigorously pushing for. “The ‘total deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate’ is the position of a reversal of history that returns our society to the era of ‘political and political conflicts'”. The media pointed to the feeling of crisis by the existence of the accusation in the context, saying that the attorney general had participated in public opinion.
Yoon responded to multiple media interviews on the 2nd, saying, “The deprivation of the prosecutor’s right to investigate is that the judicial police will eventually concentrate investigative power.” “Returning to the era of ‘absolute corruption of absolute power’, and when the just society and the market system collapse, the weak person is weak. Wow, only ordinary people will be harmed, “he criticized.
The JoongAng Ilbo said in an interview on the 2nd, “Let us maintain and strengthen the capacity to investigate serious crimes by creating an anti-corruption investigation office, a financial investigation office and a security office that integrates the investigation and prosecution of prosecutors even under Ministry of Justice. ”He noted,“ we made an inverse proposal to the Major Crimes Investigation Office (Heavy Water Service), which is promoting the abolition of the prosecution’s right to direct investigation, ”he said.
In this regard, General Yoon said, “It’s okay to get everyone (prosecutors) out from under me.” “We have to take the investigation office and the Ministry of Public Security out of the jurisdiction of the president and create a security office. Develop a national response capacity for major crimes combining investigation and prosecution.
The Seoul newspaper analyzed the climate of growing opposition within the prosecution due to criticism of President Yoon’s intention, and analyzed that “the situation cannot be ruled out even for a revival of ‘Gamran’.” In fact, on the bulletin board within the Prosecutor’s Office, prosecutors from each branch across the country post a series of protests against the establishment of the Heavy Water Office under their real names.
The Hankyoreh said: “There seems to be a sense of internal crisis of ‘the threat of the existence of the prosecution organization’ and a realistic judgment that as individual president Yoon, who is about to retire in July, he has nothing to lose. There is also an aspect that justified Lee Yun’s appearance, ”he analyzed.
Furthermore, “inside and outside the prosecution, there is analysis that President Yoon’s statements are an extension of his painstaking ‘persecutor’ rather than a ‘political calculation.’ Even after seeing comments that the prosecution has been faithfully investigated , the elite felt that ‘the prosecution is right’ is revealed, “said a former attorney for the prosecution.
On the 3rd, President Yoon plans to take an additional position after seeking opinions from the national prosecutor’s office on the establishment of the heavy water bureau. There is a possibility that Yoon will fill an additional position directly during his visit to the Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office and the Senior Prosecutor’s Office on this day.

The Great Swordsman refuted this, saying, “The case was never assigned to Investigator Im in the first place.” In this case, he said that he did not appoint a chief prosecutor and that the case was not processed, and for the first time on the 2nd, Heo Jeong-soo, chief prosecutor, was appointed chief prosecutor.
It was assessed that the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Swordsman is rescaling.
