秋 · 尹 expenses for special activities are not confirmed useful
On the 9th, the “ controversy over special expenses ”, which began with the statements of the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, that the investigation team suffered difficulties because the expenses of special activities were not paid to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, led to on-site verification by the Legislative Judicial Committee of the National Assembly. Through verification on that day, it was confirmed that the Ministry of Justice was recovering 10% of the special expenses assigned to the great swordsman. In particular, it was confirmed that the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice spent 759 million won on special expenses this year alone.
The use of special expenses by the Minister of Justice, Choo Mi-ae, and the attorney general, Yoon Seok-yeol, was not confirmed. It was discovered that Minister Chu did not pay the special expenses assigned to the Ministry of Justice and General Yoon did not personally pay the special expenses. Through the briefings of the ruling and opposition legislators who conducted the verification that day, the details of the use of special expenses by the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Justice, the Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol and the Minister were summarized. of Justice Chu Mi-ae.
◇ Special performance fees were reduced to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office
Earlier, Minister Chu criticized in the plenary session of the National Assembly judicial committee on the 5th, saying, “President Yoon is spending (special expenses) like pocket money.” When Kim Jong-min, a legislator for the Democratic Party, raised the suspicion that “the president gives a lot of special expenses to the prosecution with close collaborators, and if he doesn’t like it, he gives a little.” Minister Chu added: “Until recently, the central district prosecutor’s office said that the investigation team has difficulties because no special expenses were paid.”
Minister Chu also ordered the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the allocation and execution of special expenses for Yun, on the 6th, the day after the General Assembly of the Judicial Committee.
However, it is true that the special activities expenses allocated to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office this year decreased compared to the previous year. Representative Kim said, “The total amount of special expenses has been reduced and there are not many cases pending, so it appears to have decreased.” Special activities expenses were also allocated to prosecutors in the southern and eastern districts, where the number of pending incidents increased from last year. In response, Paik Hye-ryeon and the Democratic Party legislator confronted him and said, “Who will understand the words that the pending cases of the central district attorneys have decreased?” Opposition lawmakers expressed their opinion on how much special spending was cut.
◇ Prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, which does not investigate, executes KRW 759 million
It was also true that part of the special expenses assigned to the great swordsman was paid to the Ministry of Justice. Representative Kim Jin-ae of the Open Democratic Party said: “It appears that the Ministry of Justice gives about 10% of the special expenses that were reduced to the prosecution.” The opposition party raises a problem, saying it is a timely use for the Ministry of Justice to repay the special expenses that have been paid to the prosecution.
Representative Kim Do-eup questioned the use of special expenses by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice. Representative Kim noted that “the Justice Ministry prosecutor’s office, which does not conduct investigations or collect information, spent 759 million won this year,” he said, “but the details are not confirmed.” He said: “It was confirmed that some departments of the Ministry of Justice used basic expenses as special expenses,” he said. “The vice minister of Justice also admitted the error and promised to correct it as of next year.”
Regarding this, Congressman Kim Jin-ae explained, “Minister Chu has special expenses from other places, so I don’t think he used it because it was uncomfortable.” On the other hand, Representative Kim Do-eup demonstrated that additional data was needed, saying: “There is no evidence that the minister did not write it down.”
◇ “Yoon Seok-yeol did not write a special activity fee for personal use”
The ruling party’s claim that Yun is using special spending for political financing has not been confirmed. Representative Paik said: “With the data presented now, it is impossible (to confirm) whether the special expenditures were useful as political funds.” Rep. Paik added: “In the data we received, there were no special expenses for personal use.”
However, representative Paik said that if there are any issues with this, he plans to verify it through additional data. He said: “It is difficult to verify whether the data is objective or not because it is so cluttered.”
In response, Representative Kim Do-eup refuted that the great sword data was accurate. He said: “When you spend special expenses, you should leave the reasons for the cause of the expense, write an expense resolution, and have a receipt and a confirmation of the details of the execution, but the data presented by the great prosecutor was all these.
Rather, it stated that the data from the Ministry of Justice was inadequate and that further verification was needed. Representative Kim Jin-ae also said, “There was a great reduction in the cost of special activities, but if we want to reduce it further, we should discuss why we will reduce it,” he said. “The Ministry of Justice and the prosecution must also pay for more data.”
