On the 28th, the lawyer from the Dongin Law Firm was nominated as a candidate for the Deputy Chief of the First Senior Public Officials Criminal Investigation Agency (KAI). As a result, the Ministry of Public Affairs is expected to direct the two former judges, including Chief Kim Jin-wook, to take the position of “number 1 and 2”.
The initial expectation that prosecutors who had a lot of experience in investigations would be raised to the deputy chief of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and Kim explained: “I see political neutrality and independence as important factors of judgment.” Regarding the reversal of the existing position that he would propose multiple candidates, he said: “We decided to propose a singular number in consideration of the contrary opinion.”
Vice Minister Kim announced that he would nominate a lawyer as a candidate for deputy director of the Ministry of Public Transportation through a briefing held at the government office in Seoul at 5:00 pm. The deputy director of the Ministry of Public Service is the second leader of the organization assisting Deputy Director Kim, and will play a key role in various investigations and prosecutors. The deputy director of the Ministry of Public Transport is appointed by the president on the recommendation of the minister.
After graduating from Seoul National University in 1991, a Seoul candidate was appointed as a judge in Daejeon District Court in 1997. She subsequently opened her business as a lawyer in 2016 after serving as a judge of the Seoul High Court, law firm to the Constitutional Court, judge of the Jeonju District Court, professor of the Judicial Research and Training Institute and judge of the Seoul High Court. In 2017 and 2019, he served as Chief Legal Officer of the Seoul Bar Association and Vice President of the Korea Bar Association. During his tenure as a judge, he also worked as a dedicated court order judge.
Candidate Woman drew attention by dismissing her arrest warrant while serving as an attorney for former Blue House Chief Min Jeong-woo, who was investigated by Park Young-soo’s team of special prosecutors in connection with the Gukjeong incident. Nongdan in 2017. He is also a person recommended by the Korean Bar Association as one of Justice Park Sang-ok’s successor candidates. It is the assessment of the legal community that has never revealed a clear political color.
Numerous analyzes say that on this day a candidate was offered singularly as a candidate for deputy director of the Ministry of Public Transport. This is because Deputy Chief Kim Jin-wook said, “I will recommend various recommendations to the president of the deputy candidate” right after taking office. The comments were also suspected to be “didn’t you pave the way for appointing a deputy director to suit the taste of the government?” Kim said: “It is not important whether it is in the singular or plural, recommendation or recommendation, but the key is whether the person recommended or proposed is politically neutral and independent,” he said. “It should be,” he said. He added: “However, there was a personnel verification problem, so we shortened (the candidate for deputy) to a former judge and a former prosecutor and proceeded with the personnel verification.”
Vice Minister Kim said: “We consider the fact that the candidate was selected as the” best judge of the Seoul Bar Association “, as well as” listened well to the views of the parties and facilitated the trial “regarding the selection of the candidate as “a final candidate.” In particular, “I would like to have neutrality and political independence, as well as investigative capacity and experience, but if not, I was concerned about which one to look for first.” He stressed that “I think the candidate is difficult to make objections in terms of neutrality and political independence. “
Behind the scenes, where both the head and the deputy director of the Ministry of Public Affairs and the deputy are in charge of ‘a former judge’ seems to be the intention to minimize the noise in the future by focusing on ‘defined prosecution, safe prosecution’ instead research function. However, there is a high probability that concerns about “lower investigative power” will become unavoidable. Therefore, there are observations that a large number of prosecutors will be employed from prosecutors who have extensive experience in the investigation.
“There is some concern that politically biased staff will be hired” regarding the selection of prosecutors for the airlift, Kim said. He added: “We hope to support a large number of medium-sized legal professionals with more than 15 and 20 years of experience at the prosecutor level as a prosecutor in the Ministry of Public Function.” As for the investigator from the Ministry of Public Affairs, he asked for active support, saying: “The door is open to those who have experience (related to various investigations such as securities, accounting and fair trade).”
As soon as the deputy commander appointment process is complete, the Airborne Service will also expedite the work of the lead prosecutors and investigators. Airborne prosecutors are appointed by the president on the recommendation of a total of 7 people, including △ the chief of the airlift, △ the deputy chief of the airlift, △ one commissioned by the deputy director, △ two recommended by the ruling party and two recommended by the opposition party. On the way to work, Kim said, “I will (apply to the parliamentary bargaining organization) as soon as possible next week” and “I will send an official letter and request an application within the next week.”
