The government has decided to maintain a police-focused investigation system in relation to allegations of property speculation by employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH). The prosecution is excluded from the investigation, but it is decided to entrust legal assistance by sending a real estate investigation prosecutor to the Prime Minister’s Office at the Government Joint Special Investigations Headquarters (special edition).

On the 10th, the government held a meeting at the Seoul government building, chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, on the investigation of alleged speculation in the new city, and made such a decision. Immediately after the meeting, the first deputy head of the government coordination office, Choi Chang-won, met with reporters and said, “Now (LH speculation suspected) the investigation is the area of ​​the police,” saying : “The principle of the adequacy of investigative power is that prosecutors are not dispatched to a special copy.” In accordance with the purpose of the revised adjustment of police investigation rights last year, the National Investigation Headquarters under the National Police Agency reaffirmed the principle of leading the investigation of alleged LH speculation.

A total of two prosecutors will cooperate with the investigation, including a chief prosecutor who has already been dispatched to the corruption prevention team in the Prime Minister’s Office. However, as the investigation is led by the police, the role of the prosecutor is expected to be limited to the scope of legal support. Prime Minister Chung said at the meeting that day that “the entire process of investigation and investigation, prosecution and maintenance of prosecution must be carried out without any vacuum,” he called for the organic cooperation of prosecutors. Since this is the first large-scale case in which the police have the right to investigate after conciliation of the investigative powers of prosecutors, special cooperation of prosecutors was ordered.

In opposition to the power of the people, it was argued that the subject of the investigation of the alleged LH speculation case “should be a prosecutor.” People’s Power spokesman Bae Joon-young said on the day that “the prosecution, who has experience in real estate investigations, will be the main focus, so it is necessary to investigate properly.” The People’s Power Special Investigation Committee of the People’s Power for the Investigation of Real Estate Speculation also stressed in a press conference that “President Moon Jae-in must instruct the prosecution to go to an investigation, not to conclude that it does not It is the area of ​​the prosecution investigation. “
