Some legal analysts say the suspension of two months of suspension that the Disciplinary Committee of Prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice granted to Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol after a marathon of discussion was “ determined by careful calculations. ”

While it dilutes the impression of ‘Suk-yeol Yoon’s disciplinary action,’ it is an analysis that finds compromise to prepare for an administrative lawsuit that President Yoon will file in the future.

After 17 hours of deliberation, the disciplinary committee decided to suspend the two-month suspension with General Yoon at 4 a.m. on the 16th.

Initially, the results were expected to come out around midnight on the 15th, but it took seven hours to discuss among the disciplinary members.

This is because opinions among members continued to diverge on the level of disciplinary action on the four reasons for disciplinary action recognized by the disciplinary committee.

Four people participated in the day’s deliberation, including President Jeong Han-jung, a professor from the Chonnam National University Law School, Anjin, Vice Minister of Justice Yong-gu Yong-gu, and anti-corruption power manager Shin Seong-sik, the great prosecutor.

The decision is made according to the lower limit of the disciplinary control opinions issued by three of the majority, and various opinions have been reported, ranging from dismissal, the highest level, to six or four months of suspension. In particular, Shin Seong-sik is known to abstain from the resolution, saying that charges of disciplinary action against President Yoon were not recognized.

The disciplinary committee reached a two-month suspension agreement after debating until the majority reached the same conclusion.

Before the holding of the disciplinary commission, instead of dismissal or removal, the highest level in political and legal circles, the prospect of suspension of three to six months prevailed, but a somewhat shorter two-month suspension was imposed.

On the other hand, some interpretations in the legal community have not taken into account the burden of severe disciplinary action against President Yun on the regime.

In the process of preparing for the prosecution and discipline commission, public opinion is not good, as various procedural issues were raised, and even if the supervisory commission of the Ministry of Justice and even the court raised the hand of President Yoon , a forced resignation of the president could generate a headwind in the regime. It’s that it worked.

Will the attorney general's disciplinary action be confirmed?

Already in the passport, there is widespread concern that the conflict between Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae and President Yoon is undermining the government’s approval rating.

It is also speculated that by suspending the president’s duties for two months, the power of the prosecution to undermine the power of prosecution investigations, which is a burden on the regime, such as nuclear power plant investigations, may have been established.

Along with this, an analysis suggests that the disciplinary committee would have imposed a two-month suspension in preparation for a legal issue raised by President Yoon.

A legal official said: “The worst case scenario for the disciplinary committee is to accept a request for suspension of the application of disciplinary effect in court,” he said. “It appears that the court has calculated whether the court will cite a stay of execution even though it is suspended for two months.”

Yoon’s side has pointed out various procedural issues, such as the injustice of the disciplinary committee and the lack of guarantee of the right to defense, and has predicted a legal dispute over the results of the disciplinary committee. On that day, President Yoon said, “It is an illegal and unfair measure that has presented illegal procedures and unfounded reasons to expel the incumbent attorney general,” and said, “We will correct the errors in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the constitution and laws”.
