Han Dong-soo, chief prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, is answering a question from a member of lawmakers at the National Assembly Audit of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office of the Legislative Judicial Council held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on 22. Reporter Oh Jong-taek
Attorney General Han Dong-soo argued that Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol’s request to exclude Attorney General Jeong Jin-woong from his duties was unfair to the Gwangju District Attorney General. Furthermore, it evaluated the procedure for prosecuting Deputy Attorney General Chung for self-directed assault as “an unusual and special case.”
Earlier, during the seizure and search process at Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, Deputy Prosecutor Jeong flew away while preventing a prosecutor from operating a cell phone, and a prosecutor charged him with “ self-directed assault. ” Deputy Prosecutor Chung was charged by the Seoul High School Prosecutor’s Office, and Yoon petitioned the Ministry of Justice to exclude his duties on the grounds that Deputy Prosecutor Chung was prosecuted.
On the 15th, the head of the prosecution published an article on his Facebook page saying: “The reason for filing an objection against the attorney general.” In this article, he announced that he had recently filed an objection to Deputy Prosecutor Chung’s job exclusion request to Yoon.
He said: “In the process of forcibly acquiring a cell phone that is the subject of a seizure and search warrant held by the suspect at the suspect’s office (an investigator from the Institute for Training and Legal Affairs), the chief prosecutor in the Channel A case (current deputy prosecutor) attacked the suspect and injured him. For that reason, the Attorney General ordered the Seoul Senior Prosecutor (Prosecutor Sang-cheol Cho), who received a complaint from the suspect, to act as the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office and investigated and prosecuted the Deputy Prosecutor for Violation of Special Law (Voluntary Assault) “. In addition, he evaluated the progress of the case, saying:” The case, the accused, the suspect, the process of handling the case and the result are sufficiently unusual and special cases in the history of the prosecution. ”
After that, “I looked at the relevant laws, regulations and precedents,” he noted the inadequacy of the exclusion of duties for Deputy Attorney General Chung. One of the prosecutors said: “This is the point that ▶ After the investigation was completed, the pre-indictment case was reorganized (transfer of duties) and a prosecutor who was not the lead prosecutor (training center 28) prosecuted the prosecution. The conviction and innocence are expected to be fierce ▶ In light of the fact that the investigation of the suspect and the possibility that the previous deputy prosecutor may influence the relevant judicial intuition, etc. It was not included in the requirements to request the suspension of the execution of the work of Article 8 (3) and it was considered an inappropriate measure “.
One of the prosecutors also said: “In consideration of the fact that the suspect is the attorney general’s closest intimate friend, and that it is an important issue in which the authority of the investigative command was invoked to guarantee the independent investigation of the team of investigation by excluding the attorney general of the Minister of Justice in related cases. According to the Supreme Board of Swordsmen, it was suggested to discuss this matter, but it was not accepted either ”. He said: “Immediately, the prosecution was excluded from the job and was left out of the approval column. He repeatedly raised a problem with President Yoon’s request for exclusion.
