On the 19th, the Minister of Justice, Choo Mi-ae, exercised the authority of the investigation into the so-called ‘Cal Incident’ and the investigation related to the family of Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol. This is the second time after the suspicion of “verbal adhesion” surrounding Prosecutor Yoon’s assistant and reporter “Channel A”. Minister Chu said on the day: “In order to ensure a fair and independent investigation of cases involving the President, his family and close friends, including the crimes of opposition politicians and prosecutors in the Lime Asset Management case, Attorney General Lee said, “After conducting an independent investigation without being under the command and supervision of a superior, such as the Supreme Attorney, only the results should be reported to the Attorney General.” All major general newspapers on the 20th carried related news on the front page.

Among the cases in which Minister Chu deprived President Yoon of command, △ Acquisition of money and property on behalf of sponsorship money related to Covana, Inc. Mouma’s allegations and other investment-related complaints, such as payments related to the government, are cases involving President Yoon’s family. The suspicion that Yoon Seok-yeol intervened in the bribery case of the bribery case of the former head of the Yongsan Tax Office and related cases such as the dismissal of the seizure and search warrant and the arson prosecution. Compared to the case of the ‘Gwordsman Convergence’, it seems to be pointing directly at Yun.
The Kyunghyang Shinmun (clearly highlighting Yoon Seok-yeol’s willingness to send him with an unkempt body) interpreted that Minister Chu made it clear that he would send Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol as a cause of the prosecution reform. It is the intention to highlight General Yoon as a stomach corps. ” The newspaper said: “Although President Yoon refrained from responding to the initiation of the investigation and command related to Rhyme by Minister Chu, there is a possibility that the conflict between the two sides will escalate due to the backlash movement within. of the prosecution in the future. However, it can be interpreted that he showed a position of which he was proud without mentioning the family case. Consequently, the observation that Yun will not resign is overbearing. “
Various interpretations have also been given to the office of President Yoon Suk-yeol. General Yoon took a brief position within 30 minutes after the investigation and command right was activated. Without commenting on the right-wing initiation of the investigation command itself, he said: “I hope that by thoroughly condemning both the forces that committed large-scale fund fraud and those who defended them, we hope to dry the tears of the victims and meet people’s expectations ”. JoongAng Ilbo (Yoon Seok-yeol “I will not be able to direct Lime’s investigation … condemn asylums”), “Some legal circles say that Yoon mentioned ‘conviction against asylum’ on this day, and there is an analysis that it was directed to passports like Minister Chu … There is also an observation that there is a possibility that Yoon will strongly express his opinion in the Supreme Swordsman’s Office on the 22nd. “
Meanwhile, there are suspicions that the prosecution did not properly investigate opposition politician Yoon Amugae, who was a prosecutor, in connection with the Lime case. The Ministry of Justice and the passport argued that ‘Sukyeol Yoon’s case was crushed,’ and President Yoon ‘ordered a thorough investigation’ and refuted the situation. The Hankook Ilbo (Ministry of Justice “reports directly to the President of the Republic of Korea to reduce suspicions related to politicians”), the prosecution “personalized step-line information … Relevant information was reported to President Yoon, and then Of that, the South District Prosecutor’s Office suspected Mr. Yun, and that the investigation was carried out as an account follow-up and communications query. Then, in late August, President Yun ordered to report the content of the Lime incident to through the Supreme Anti-Corruption and Power Prosecutor’s Office, and the passport is concerned that the report was made directly between the district attorney and the president, it is doubtful that it was intended to cover up.
Hankook Ilbo said: “However, prosecutors with a lot of experience working with the great swordsman agree that this claim to ‘pass strong and anti-corruption forces to cover up the suspicions of the opposition party’ is not convincing. He said: “It means that it is necessary for the security of the investigation and that it is not unusual for the chief prosecutor to report the details of the internal investigation or the stage of espionage directly to the president.” “Yoon, the senior prosecutor, had previously selected Director Shim as a key position in the prosecutor’s office and worked with him as his immediate subordinate. It is said that it may have been difficult to inform Director Shim of the Yun-related investigation at a stage where the charges are unclear, as the two have worked together for more than a year. “As General Manager Yun, there is no possibility that I would not trust Director Shim or exclude him from the hierarchy for consideration.”
Most of the newspapers recognized the legal and unavoidable basis for the initiation of the investigation and the command authority, but expressed their concern about the independence of the prosecution. An editorial on the Kyunghyang Shinmun (the purpose of invoking the command of Minister Chu, and the prosecution must be proven by a fair investigation) read: “There are many suspicions that a passport official was involved in the relationship between Lime and the government. Additionally, the Seoul Central District Attorney General Lee Seong-yoon, who is leading the investigation into President Yoon’s family case, is between him and Chuck. Even if the intent of the investigation is suspected or if the investigation is small, the controversy over “investigation in code” is likely to ignite. In the case of the Hankook Ilbo editorial (investigation of funds excluded by President Yoon, the prosecution was underway), “there is no legal problem with the initiation of the investigative command right by Minister Chu, but there is an excessive aspect” . If the situation is excluded from the command line only by raising suspicions, it is necessary to ask whether the normal functions of the prosecutor’s office should be stopped when similar cases arise in the future. In this way, he pointed out that it is highly probable that the abuse of the power of the Minister of Justice to carry out investigations on the attorney general will significantly undermine the political independence of the prosecution.
In particular, the difference in perspective between Chosun Ilbo and Hankyoreh was remarkable. The Hankyoreh (Lime suspects, independent investigation excluding President Yoon is correct), “In the Lime fund fraud case, lobbying against opposition politicians and prosecutors was carried out. The claim that it cannot be trusted is gaining traction, “he said.” It is a reasonable direction in the sense that it is inevitable that an independent investigator will take over the Lime incident. “The reorganization of the investigation team at the Ministry of Justice was also assessed as” a natural measure. “The Hankyoreh said: they need complementary measures, such as appointing a special prosecutor to allay concerns about ‘covering my family’. ”“ The authority of the Minister of Justice to lead the investigation should be restricted to ensure the neutrality of the prosecution. However, it is difficult to deny the necessity of the content of this command itself. In that sense, I think it was desirable that the prosecution first proposed an independent investigative agency. “
The editorial by Chosun Ilbo (Selection and Investigation Command Authority, Loss of Reason to Water the Back Door) described Minister Chu’s Investigation Command as “losing his mind.” “I was deprived of command by General Yoon of the Channel A incident in July, but this incident itself was a fake manipulation,” he concluded, saying, “This time, it was based on Kim Bong-hyun’s ‘Prison Letter’, Jeonju Lime “. “I trust fund scammers more than prosecutors say. “It would be the intention to somehow photograph the dazzling government General Yun, water the back door, and avoid investigation.” Chosun Ilbo said, “The allegations related to Yoon’s family are mainly the content of a person who accused him of accusing him of his family and then lived in prison for innocence. When Yoon was investigating the old regime, the passport itself said “not a problem”, and when Yoon inquires into the Blue House elections in Ulsan and investigates his country, he retreats and attacks him. We salute for the third time this year. It wasn’t even during the dictatorship, ”he added.
