Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol attended the National Assembly audit on the 22nd and expressed his views on various agendas such as the conflict with Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, the Lime Asset Management case, and allegations of family corruption. In particular, regarding the initiation of the investigation and Minister Chu’s command, he raised his voice and said, “The Attorney General is not subordinate to the minister.”
General Yoon attended the national audit of the Legislative and Judicial Committee of the National Assembly that day, and when Representative Yun Han-hong asked for his opinion on the initiation of the investigation and the minister’s command, he said: “The attorney general did not is a subordinate of the Minister of Justice. Because the minister is basically a politician (If that happens), it becomes a story far removed from the political neutrality of the prosecution or the independence of the judiciary. “He continued:” Can we exclude the chairman of a specific case? Most prosecutors and lawyers say that it is illegal and violates the law of prosecution. ”President Yoon directly expressed the view that it is difficult to accept the initiation of the investigation and the command authority by from Minister Chu. He continued: “There may be legal disputes, but if that happens, the prosecution and legal organizations are so confused that I don’t want to compete with the minister for a specific case.” , He said. “But I think it is certainly illegal and unfair.” did.
General Yoon strongly opposed the Lime case, which was the basis for the initiation of the investigation and Minister Chu’s command, in connection with the prosecution’s suspicion of a flawed investigation. He said to Representative Yoo Sang-beom’s question, “Slander is the most decent word I can use.” The Ministry of Justice announced on the 18th that the prosecution’s investigation was not properly carried out in relation to the Lime case. In response, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office rebelled and said: “It is nothing more than a slander against the Attorney General.” He continued: “On the matter of the opposition politicians, I received a direct report from the prosecutor and ordered a thorough investigation so as not to be accused of ‘covering up my family.’ I can’t. “However, when General Yoon said there was a suspicion related to the prosecutor’s lobby in the Lime case and called for accountability, he lowered his attitude and said,” Why am I not responsible? “

General Yoon voiced an uncomfortable appearance, saying that there was no prior consultation regarding the prosecution staff whose intentions were excluded. He said: “When I was asked to write a (salute), I said, ‘Minister, the prosecution should give me a basic draft, so I won’t.’ He said: “I asked them to send them with comments.” In fact, the “supervisor” has already decided on the prosecution’s personnel plan, independent of President Yoon himself. “The prosecutor’s personnel authority is the president, but I have consulted with the chief prosecutors when the prosecutor’s office of the Ministry of Justice does,” he said. “There was no law to greet people that way after completing the greeting plan.” Contrary to custom, he expressed his dissatisfaction that his opinion had been excluded from the recent prosecution. The Ministry of Justice this year promoted personnel in the direction to give preference to prosecutors from the Criminal Department and Courts, but suspects that a large number of special communications prosecutors were demolished. In the process, it was noted that the Ministry of Justice unilaterally greeted the president without consulting with Yun.
Yoon also protested the allegations of family corruption. He said, “I have not been involved in my wife’s affairs” and “raised an unsubstantiated suspicion” when a question was raised about family misconduct at the government office, such as that the company under investigation sponsored the art exhibition of Mr. Yun’s wife, Kim Gun-hee. When a member of the Open Democratic Party, Kim Jin-ae, pointed out, “Isn’t Yoon trying to protect his wife’s family?” I think it is, ”he refuted. Yoon’s position is that the suspicion of real estate speculation raised by some is not true. He explained that “last year, in accordance with the policy of a house for senior officials, we got rid of properties with rising prices, and now we have only inherited properties and apartments.”

Regarding Yoon’s national supervision, Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae said on his social networking service (SNS) that day: “The Attorney General is a public official under the command and supervision of the Minister of Justice.” . That same day, when Yun said, “The Attorney General is not a subordinate of the minister” in the National Oversight of the Legislative Judicial Committee of the National Assembly, he immediately countered the comment.
Minister Chu also ordered the joint prosecution of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office on whether to report the allegations of misconduct to the controversial prosecutor. According to the Ministry of Justice, Minister Chu ordered an inspection on the suspicion of “entertainment for prosecutors” alleged by former Star Mobility chairman Kim Bong-hyun, known as the body of the Lime case, and whether the relevant statements were hidden or outdated in the investigation process or reporting system. The reason for the prosecution’s order is that the prosecution’s command and former President Kim’s arguments are opposed to each other. The Justice Ministry explained that “the attorney general and the command of the Seoul South District Prosecutor’s Office were unaware of the allegations because they were not informed of the allegations, while the arguments of former President Kim corresponded to the specific circumstances.”
In connection with the Lime case, Minister Chu divided the opposition parties and ordered an inspection on whether the prosecutors investigated discrimination against politicians. The Justice Ministry said: “It is necessary to analyze whether the Lime investigation team conducted a discriminatory investigation as opposed to the investigation of the ruling party politicians for about four months until the prosecutor in August after receiving a misconduct report against opposition politicians. “
General Yoon also immediately rebelled against Minister Chu’s inspection order. He pointed out this afternoon in the National Prosecutor’s Office that “(the joint prosecution) is with the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office. The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office is a department under the jurisdiction of the attorney general.
