[사진 = 김호영 기자 / 연합뉴스] The prosecutor’s salute is designated as the first step in evaluating the relationship between Justice Minister Park Beom-gye and Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, who became the “final launcher of prosecution reform.”
As Minister Park said before taking office, it is necessary to listen to President Yoon’s opinion when it comes to personnel matters, so the same ‘special case impression’ is unlikely to occur as in the days of former Minister Chu. Mi-ae. It is expected that the principle that staff give preferential treatment to the Prison and the Court will be maintained. Greetings from the prosecutor are scheduled to take place in 8-10 days.
On Day 1 at 9:30 am on Day 1, Yoon visited and interviewed Minister Park, who was about to take the opening ceremony. In the interview it was reported that the congratulations on the inauguration and the virtues came and went. The Attorney General has routinely held a meeting without attending the opening ceremony of the Minister of Justice.
General Yoon said, “We haven’t discussed greetings yet,” when asked if there were any conversations related to the staff after the 15-minute interview.
In particular, the rise of prosecutors who set a corner with Yoon, including the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Lee Seong-yoon, Sim Jae-cheol, the Chief Prosecutor of the Department of Justice, and Lee Jong-geun. The head of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office draws attention. Prosecutor Lee has been in conflict with Mr. Yoon over the investigation of Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, who is classified as a close friend of Mr. Yoon. Director Lee is known to have led the unprecedented “Attorney General discipline”. Director Shim insisted that former Justice Minister Cho Kuk be treated innocently in January, but heard a prosecutor opposing a subordinate prosecutor say “Are you a prosecutor?” It was designated as the party to whom to deliver. However, the Blue House is reported to have followed through on its intention to retain many of the executives of these prosecutors through Secretary Park. The policy of preferential treatment to prosecutors who have accumulated experience in the criminal and procedural department is expected to continue.
In his opening speech, Minister Park once again emphasized his willingness to continue the reform of the prosecution service.
He said: “I have just taken a step towards the reform of the prosecution, which is the order of the people.” He added that “the prosecution must strengthen its role as judicial controller to control illegal investigations.” Minister Park asked: “Are you not proud that legal affairs and prosecutors are at the forefront of the role of guaranteeing and protecting human rights?” “Please do your best to improve the system and the system,” he said.
Regarding the criminal investigation office of senior public officials (airport office) and the adequacy of the prosecution’s right to investigate, he said: “The prosecution must do everything possible to protect people’s human rights and respond to the various crimes through mutual cooperation with the police. ” He then emphasized that “we must also organically cooperate with the air defense agency based on checks and balances”, and emphasized that “institutional changes must result in the strengthening of national criminal investigation capabilities, not in confusion or regression.”
He promised to actively communicate with the members and ordered that the members also listen to the voices of the people. Minister Park said that “it is necessary to always listen to the voices of the people and innovate the entire legal administration so that people can use them comfortably.” He added, “The minister’s work started at the Dongbu Detention Center site. In the future, it will be the site where the work will be completed.” In addition, he said: “I will meet and speak with members of legal affairs and the prosecution from time to time,” he said. “There will be no way to close the door to the minister’s office with just the door open.”
