He said that he believes this is based on the care of the tax organization and that he will proceed with the disciplinary process in accordance with the laws and procedures, referring to various opinions.

Minister Chu said that in a situation where Yoon did not respond to the investigation at all, he had no choice but to stop the execution of his duties in consideration of the seriousness and seriousness of the ‘Illegal Judge Inspection Document’.
In the past, during the authoritarian regime, he was surprised by the difficulty of finding differences with illegal inspections, but also noted that he was disappointed that he did not even apologize to the courts and judges when revealing the documents.

[기자]Yes, from the day after Minister Chu Mi-ae held a press conference for labor exclusion, yesterday and yesterday dozens of statements were published on the internal network of the prosecution.
After meetings of prosecutors were held in various prosecutor’s offices around the country, I entered the position.
There are 59 local prosecutors and subsidiary offices across the country, of which, with the exception of the Incheon District Attorney’s Office and the Busan Western District Office, the reviewing prosecutors convicted Chu.
There are also venues that host today’s meetings, so posts are expected to continue in the future.
In a Han voice, the reviewing prosecutors are protesting that it is illegal or unfair for Minister Chu to demand disciplinary action against Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol and suspend his duties.
In particular, this time, not only the prosecutor, but also the senior prosecutor who reports directly to the attorney general are speaking out.

[앵커]Is next week the meeting to discuss the disciplinary status and level of Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol?
[기자]Yes, it is the 2nd of the following month.
Minister Choo Mi-ae notified Yoon’s attendance by holding a disciplinary review committee on the 2nd of next month.
When Yoon made a legal response, such as requesting disciplinary action and requesting a stay of execution the day immediately after the exclusion of duties, he immediately set the date for the disciplinary hearing and reported it.
The suspension was cited in court and is interpreted to hasten the disciplinary outcome before Yoon returns to work.
On the 30th, the court decided to challenge President Yoon’s request for suspension of removal from office.
President Yoon said that he was informed that the disciplinary deliberation committee would be held at 4 p.m. on the 2nd and that the president’s attendance has not yet been decided.
Inside and outside the legal profession, there are observations that the disciplinary committee will decide to remove Yun at the will of Minister Chu, and that Minister Chu will immediately propose him to the president.
Another noise arose in the process as it was reported that the schedule of the Inspection Commission of the Ministry of Justice was delayed with respect to the schedule of the disciplinary commission.
Originally, the inspection committee was scheduled to meet today, but the Justice Ministry had temporarily postponed the meeting.
However, when the schedule for convening the disciplinary commission was announced, the external inspectors belonging to the Ministry of Justice’s inspection rebelled and requested the Ministry of Justice to open a temporary supervisory commission before the disciplinary commission.
The Justice Ministry recently changed the mandatory “receive” provision of the oversight committee council when deciding on disciplinary action when inspecting important matters to the optional “may receive” provision.
Criticism emerged as to whether it was a rock to discipline President Yoon bypassing the impeachment committee, with the Justice Ministry explaining that the prosecutor’s discipline committee and the Justice Ministry’s oversight committee were reviewed due to overlapping parts.
It is known that it is still being coordinated when the meeting of the inspection committee will take place.
In a call with YTN reporters, the supervisory commissioner said in a call with YTN reporters that some of the supervisory commissioners requested a meeting this time for reasons other than the case of President Yoon Seok-yeol.
