The power of the people on the suspicion of the son’s preferential military vacationSpecial inspectionI took out the card. Instead of introducing a “special inspection”, insist on the appointment of a special inspection. I looked at reality.

Unlike special prosecutors, special prosecutors are an exceptionally operated system for ordinary prosecutorial criminal cases. Since members of the same organization are investigated, only the independent Attorney General is informed of the final results.

The basis is Order no. 160 of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, “Guidelines for the operation of special prosecutors.” According to this, it is stated that “the purpose is to stipulate the matters necessary for the temporary functioning of a separate special prosecutor who investigates and prosecutes the prosecutor’s criminal charges. Following ‘Attorney Generalsilver Criminal prosecution of the prosecutorHe stipulated that a special prosecutor can be appointed when deemed necessary, such as raising public suspicions about the Korean government or when social attention is drawn.

Based on these regulations, it is analyzed that the opposition party would have determined that the special prosecutor was a more effective card than the special prosecutor. Special prosecutors must be resolved by the National Assembly in plenary session, as the 180-seat ruling party is unlikely to approve the agenda.

The ruling Democratic Party, the ruling party, maintains that the assertion of a special prosecution of people’s power is just a political offensive. Democratic Party spokesman Kang Seon-woo said: “The system of special prosecutors is mainly the subject of investigations into corruption cases within the prosecution, but it is also inappropriate to apply it to family matters before the appointment of the Minister of Justice.” .

The possibility of appointing a special prosecutor, both within and outside the prosecution, appears to be extremely low. This is because it is difficult to believe that there is corruption within the prosecution, which is a requirement for submission, based on the suspicion of Minister Cho’s son.

Special inspectionThe so-called ‘2010 during Lee Myung-bak’s administration’Greatness inspection‘It was introduced to investigate the suspicion of bribery, such as a car by the practicing prosecutor, called the incident. At that time, public opinion rapidly deteriorated when the first-line prosecution made a decision in the first investigation. At that time, Attorney General Kim Jun-gyu appointed prosecutor Kang Chan-woo of the ‘special container’ as special prosecutor, so the case of ‘prosecutor Granger’ was reversed. It was determined that the supervisory auditor, who had not been prosecuted in the first investigation, was charged with monitoring the accounts by the special inspection team, and was ultimately prosecuted and sentenced to prison in court.

Another special inspection case was ‘2011’Woman prosecutor Mercedes‘, 2012 Bribery of the acting chief prosecutor Suspicion, in 2016 Jin Gyeong-jun at the time of the prosecutor’s officeStock pot‘There are 4 cases, including suspicion. All of them investigated the case of corruption within the prosecution.

The People’s Power is centered on the suspicion that the Seoul East Coast prosecutor has removed it from the reference record even after receiving a statement from a unit official who spoke to Deputy Minister Chu. Something like Possibility of corruption within the prosecutionIt is in mind.

In this regard, a lawyer for the deputy prosecutor said that “even if the consent of the party is obtained, it is necessary to examine the process of being omitted from the file if it is a statement that is essential to clarify the suspicion.” It’s hard to say there was, ”he drew.

Another attorney for the prosecution said: “It is not a large-scale corruption case like ‘Gukjeong Nongdan’, but it is not a matter that requires extensive investigations lasting eight months after being charged.” “After all, a special prosecutor or a special prosecutor is a problem of method for investigation. He said: “A voice asking us to show the correct result through independent investigation.”
