As the conflict between Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol intensifies, the Legislative Judicial Commission of the National Assembly visits the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office to verify the expenses of special activities.
According to the Judicial Commission of the 9th, the members of the ruling and opposition parties of the Judicial Commission verify the payment and allocation of special expenses of the Prosecutor’s Office and each department of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office at 2:00 p.m. on this day. In addition, the details of the special expenses of the Ministry of Justice, including the special expenses of the Minister of Justice, and the special expenses of the auditor, including the special expenses of the auditor Choi Jae-hyung, are also checked.
The Democratic Party as a whole raised the suspicion of Yun’s special performance expenses. Members of the Judicial Committee of the Democratic Party argued that the special expenses could be used as “ political funds, ” citing the fact that Yoon was mentioned as an opposition presidential candidate in the plenary session on the 5th.
Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min also argued: “The attorney general meets with the owner of Chosun Ilbo, meets with the owner of JoongAng Ilbo, buys food, buys drinks, and I will contest the presidential election.
The special expenses of the prosecution are assigned to the prosecution through the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice, and the prosecution is assigned to the head of the agency in consideration of the demand for investigative activities and information gathering. When suspicions arose, the Supreme Prosecutors said: “We establish and execute monthly and quarterly execution plans, execute additional executions in accordance with the investigation status, and manage execution data in accordance with related regulations.”
However, Minister Chu, who replied that it was ‘President Yoon’s pocket money’, ordered an investigation by the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office the following day (6).
Unfortunately, the timing of the investigation order coincides with the initiation of the investigation by the Wolsong Unit 1 prosecutor’s office. The Democratic Party stipulated the prosecution’s investigation as a “subjective opposition party investigation” and drew intense criticism against Yun. Yoon was also singled out behind the prosecution’s investigation.
Democratic Party spokesperson Heo Young covered the politics with a combined fantasy play that the prosecution made and hit. I hope that the prosecution does not make the mistake of putting an arrogant knife in the legitimate policy of the government, “he criticized, saying that” the right of the prosecution to investigate is not an inexhaustible power that can encompass all matters.
On the other hand, the opposition party suspects that this is a political offensive targeting Yoon as a “prosecutor shake”. It is said that he ordered an inspection within a day of suspicion, as it was not known if Yoon was using illegal special expenses. In addition, it is noted that the Democratic Party intends to narrow the scope of the activities of President Yoon, whose term ends in July next year, by drastically reducing special expenses during the budget review process.
Since the verification began with the arguments of the Democratic Party and Minister Chu, there are also views that the Democratic Party may face headwinds if no basis for suspicion is found. It is said that the suspicion of special performance expenses should only be “shaken by the prosecution” or “to hit Yoon Seok-yeol”.
“The silence of the president is a pain for the people,” said Jun-young Bae, spokesman for the people’s power. “Minister Chu and President Yoon moved to staff, investigative command authority, supervision and special expenses, and although the fairness of the judicial system was put to the test,” The president has no word. “
“The auditor said in an audit of suspected manipulation of the economic viability of Wolseong Unit 1, ‘I have never seen such severe resistance,’ and even if the ruling party representative attacked the prosecution’s seizure and search, the President who was in the closing position does not speak. ” In responding, he stressed that it is necessary to adjust the conflict and organize state affairs. “
In a call with News 1, Representative Kim Do-eup, secretary of the People’s Power Judiciary Committee of the Judiciary, said: “(President Yoon’s special performance fee) is not a problem, but the Democratic Party and the minister Chu raised a similar issue in the sense that Yun is embezzling as personal money. “We ask for verification,” he said. “There is no reason to object to verification (held by the people), so an agreement has been reached.” .
