Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol (60) returned to the office after 5 pm on the 1st. On the 24th of last month, 7 days have passed after the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae (62), ordered disciplinary action and suspension of duties for six reasons, including ‘inspection in court’. It was possible because the court accepted the suspension of the suspension of functions requested by President Yoon. The successful counterattack against Minister Chu’s surprise action is empowering President Yun.

Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol returned to work immediately after citing the court’s request for a temporary provision for exclusion from his duties. President Yoon said, “As a public official in Korea, I will do my best to uphold the constitutional spirit and the rule of law.” Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice delayed the prosecution and disciplinary committee against Yun to the 4th.

President Yoon went to work at the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office 40 minutes after the subpoena decision was made and said, “I promise everyone that I will do my best to protect the constitutional spirit and the rule of law as a public official in the Republic of Korea “. He also said: “Thank you to the judiciary for making a quick decision so that we can get back to work quickly.” Yoon sent an email to prosecutors across the country, encouraging the prosecution to uphold constitutional values and political neutrality and to strive to become a “public prosecutor’s office” through “fair and equitable application of criminal law.” On this day, President Yun’s basket of flowers on the way to work read, “Congratulations on your return to work. There was a sheet of paper with the phrase “All the people of the Republic of Korea” written on it.
In the late afternoon of the first day, one day after hearing President Yoon’s application case on the 30th of last month, Part 4 of the Seoul Administrative Court administration (Presiding Officer Miyeon Jo) said, ” We recognize the suspension of validity until 30 days after the ruling on the cancellation of the exclusion order. ” Aforementioned. In his decision, “If the Attorney General obeys the Minister of Justice, the independence and political neutrality of prosecutors cannot be maintained.” “The exercise of specific command and supervision of the Attorney General by the Minister of Justice is the protection of the legal order, the protection of human rights and democratic control. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to stop at the minimum and necessary ”. The court considered that “at least, it seems reasonable that the exclusion of Mr. Yoon from his duties is sufficiently heard in the disciplinary process and that it complies with the principles of due process established in Article 12 of the Constitution.” The Blue House did not present any position on the day’s inquiries.
Earlier in the inspection committee of the Ministry of Justice held that morning, the seven members present agreed that Minister Chu’s disciplinary request, suspension of duties and investigation requests were all inappropriate. They said, “It is wrong to remove him from his duties and request an investigation without notifying President Yoon of the reasons for the disciplinary action and without giving him an opportunity to clarify.” In the legal community, Yun is assessed to have anticipated advantageous notice even if he filed a separate request for stay of execution for disciplinary action in the future, citing this stay of execution.

Yoon may file suit for stay of execution and reversal of disciplinary action.
The ‘red light’ was also lit at the Disciplinary Committee of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice, which will deliberate whether or not to punish President Yoon. Before the disciplinary committee, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice Koki-young Ko (23rd mandate of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), who was included in the disciplinary committee, submitted a lightning resignation. Consequently, the disciplinary committee was postponed to the 4th. The Justice Ministry said: “We plan to implement successors as soon as possible.” As successor vice ministers, there are mentioned Kim Gwan-jeong (26th term), Seoul East District Prosecutor’s Office, who investigated the suspicion of preferential military service to the son of Minister Chu, and Shim Jaecheol (27th term), head of the office from the prosecutor, who spearheaded the allegation of exclusion from General Yoon’s duties.
A prosecution official said: “The late deputy minister, who was thinking of taking over with his junior prosecutors on the issue of responsibility for the recent situation, visited Minister Chu the day before to express his gratitude and then immediately resigned after cite the stay of execution by the court “.
Some analysts say it is to avoid the holding of the prosecutor’s disciplinary commission, which was scheduled for the 2nd, in the context of the lightning resignation. The deceased deputy minister is an ex officio member of the disciplinary committee. He also serves as chairman of the disciplinary plaintiff on behalf of Minister Chu. If the disciplinary committee remains as is, there is a high possibility that severe disciplinary actions, such as termination and honesty, will be resolved.
A former high-ranking official of the Department of Justice analyzed that “they could not have been protagonists of the black history of the prosecution.”
In response, the Ministry of Justice explained that “we have accepted the request for postponement of the Attorney General’s Office to guarantee sufficient procedural rights and defense rights.” Previously, General Yoon requested that the disciplinary commission be postponed, saying that the disciplinary file was not being read to guarantee the right to defense.
Vice Minister Shim Woo-jeong (26th term) is the head of the Planning and Coordination Office (head of inspection). Previously, Mr. Shim was on the approval line during the application process for the suspension of his duties and the disciplinary action of President Yoon, but was excluded by revealing his opposition.
