Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, who reverted to the court’s decision to stay the execution, resumed official work from the last holiday.
Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, who has already expressed his thanks, did not reveal a special position on his way to work today, leaving only a short message on social media last night.
What is the environment and the challenges for the two institutions, the prosecutors who returned to the Yun regime and the Ministry of Justice in the face of a change of ministers?
We will connect journalists to learn more. Reporter Kang Hee-kyung!
Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, today was the first business day after the court decided to stay the execution, right?
[기자]Yes, President Seok-Yeol Yoon went to work at the Grand Swordsman’s Office around 9:20 am today.
Since the request for stay of execution was accepted on the 24th, it was the first working day, and it officially went back into operation.
As I went to work two days in a row on Christmas Day and on the 26th, the day after the citation decision, and saw the overwork, it seems that today I will continue with my normal activities.
Previously, President Yoon, who returned to work after 9 days of disciplinary action, arrived at work around 12:10 p.m. on the 25th and gave instructions to prosecutors across the country on Corona 19.
Measures such as investigating serious crime cases first and minimizing subpoena investigations were included.
The system verified the preparations for the execution of the investigation power adjustment that will come into effect next month.
The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office requested that the Criminal Justice Information System be thoroughly prepared so that the criminal justice information system can function without interruptions, and also instructed to deliver a work manual quickly and take measures so that the work can be carried out No problem.
[앵커]Are you still getting reports on important issues like the Wolseong nuclear power plant incident?
[기자]Yes, President Yun received reports about the investigation of important cases, such as the suspected manipulation of the economic viability of the Wolseong nuclear power plant and fraud at the Lime and Optimus Fund.
However, it was reported that there was no separate order after receiving the report.
Given that official activities resumed after the holidays, there is a possibility that the speed of the prosecution’s investigation, which had been stalled for a while, will be awaited.
The Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office, which was in charge of the nuclear power plant investigation, prosecuted three officials from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy suspected of erasing data.
It is noted that if President Yoon’s command is in full swing, the Blue House and passport personnel such as former Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister Baek Woon-gyu, who oversaw the policy of the nuclear power plant, and Che Hee-bong, then the Blue House industrial policy secretary, will soon be cited as suspects.
Furthermore, the investigation of several major cases, such as the Optimus Fund fraud, is expected to regain momentum.
[앵커]The decision was made to stay the execution, but the main trial has not yet started.
Are you preparing for a major lawsuit?
[기자]Yes, the disciplinary action has been suspended for a time, but whether this disciplinary action is unfair is determined in the main complaint.
President Yoon also plans to focus on preparing the main lawsuit.
Attorney Wan-gyu Lee, a legal representative on President Yoon’s side, presented an interpretation of the court’s decision to stay the execution and expressed his intention to respond in the main lawsuit.
First, regarding the court’s ruling that the court’s analytical documents were highly inappropriate, it emphasized that this was based on the premise that the documents were distributed to third parties, and that it would faithfully clarify in the main case.
He also said that he saw that there is scope to consider that misconduct has been reported to hinder the prosecution, and that he believes that the postwar situation can be sufficiently judged, and that it will clarify the general’s command and supervisory power and the facts of the postwar period.
In the reply letter filed at the time of the court’s questioning of the stay of execution case, he also emphasized that he will cooperate as much as possible so that the original lawsuit can be completed in four months.
On the other hand, Han-joong Jeong, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, who chaired President Yoon’s disciplinary committee, expressed deep regret over the decision of the judiciary to invalidate the disciplinary evasion procedure.
The judges’ lack of understanding was also criticized for the ruling that Yoon’s statements about ‘service after retirement’ did not violate political neutrality.
In the main lawsuit, the related legal battles are expected to be fierce.
However, unlike General Yoon, the Ministry of Justice has yet to decide on a legal representative to prepare the main lawsuit.
After Minister Choo Mi-ae retires, the new Minister of Justice is expected to take office.
[앵커]Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae has not yet made an explicit position.
Didn’t you say anything on the way to work today?
[기자]Yes, Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae went to the Ministry of Justice for the first time after the decision to return to office as President Yoon Suk-yeol.
No response to reporters’ question asking for their position on the decision to stay the execution.
Let’s hear it for yourself.
[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : (장관님, 윤 총장 관련 재판 결정에 구체적인 입장 있으신가요?) ……. (오늘 공수처장 후보 추천위는 참석하시나요?) …….]Last night, I left a short article on social media that said, “Although I knew the day would not come easily, I also realized that the day must come.”
Although President Yun’s disciplinary action has been virtually eliminated, interpretations say that he has expressed his willingness to continue the reform of the prosecution.
Minister Chu expressed his appreciation after Yoon’s discipline was executed, and there are observations that the resignation will be accepted starting this week.
Accordingly, when appointing a successor minister, the Ministry of Justice is expected to focus on the practice of prosecutorial reform that the current government has followed, such as preparing procedures including staff hearings and adjusting the power of attorney. investigation.
Furthermore, we continue to review whether an immediate appeal is filed against the decision to stay the execution.
A decision is expected to be made within this week on whether or not to disagree with the first decision of the trial court, as an immediate complaint is required to be filed with the lower court within 7 days.
However, it seems unlikely that the Ministry of Justice will object, as President Moon has already announced that he will respect the court’s decision.
