President Moon Jae-in on March 8. News 1
“I cannot understand the presidential order to do an investigation and an investigation together. I am concerned that the investigation may interfere with the investigation. ”
An official from the government’s joint investigation team, who requested anonymity in connection with the suspected land speculation in the third new city that used the internal secrets of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) employees, criticized the policy of parallelism of the Blue House. research and investigation. In an interview with JoongAng Ilbo on the 8th, it was a response to President Moon’s order of the day: “Along with the investigation and investigation, and the investigation team delivers the investigation results to the national investigation headquarters of the police at that time. ”
“We need to secure the evidence quickly just by investigating”
An official from the LH Joint Investigation Group said: “It is urgent to obtain as much evidence as possible quickly and powerfully through investigation without investigation.” If the investigation and the investigation are carried out in parallel, the investigation continues and the investigation continues in the case of a specific suspicion, and it is very likely that the evidence will be damaged in this process. The official stressed that “once the person who committed the crime is investigated, he realizes that he is the subject of an investigation and can contaminate or destroy evidence before the investigation arrives.”
There are already indications of damage to the evidence. According to the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transport, 41 of LH and the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transport did not present or refused to present their consent for the use of personal information to the investigation team for this day.
An official from the investigation team also said, “I fully agree with the alternative proposed by former attorney general Yoon Seok-yeol.” Former President Yoon also recently told JoongAng Ilbo that “an immediate and extensive investigation should be conducted without an investigation.” In 2005, when the joint prosecutor’s office was formed under the leadership of the second new city prosecutor’s office and related prosecutors, Yun had experience in investigating a similar case as a prosecutor in the Goyang District Prosecutor’s Office in Uijeongbu District (Uijeongbu District). by Paju Unjeong). .

“Suspected of political intention” to extend the investigation to the deceased government
There was also criticism for announcing that Choi Chang-won, head of the government’s joint investigation, “will extend the scope of the investigation to the period of the Park Geun-hye administration.”
An official from the investigation team noted that “the scope of the investigation should not be excessively expanded from the beginning of the investigation.” He said he doubts whether he has political intentions or not.
In the legal profession, there is also a bitter voice in the government’s policy of parallel investigation and investigation of LH suspicions. Representative voices of concern about insolvency investigations are that the police (National Investigation Headquarters), which has less experience in serious crime investigations than the prosecution, is leading the investigation due to the influence of the adjustment of the investigation rights of the prosecution and police. Recognizing this, President Moon ordered: “The prosecution should share investigation knowledge and techniques and discuss closely with the police in discussions to establish the direction of the investigation,” but the prosecution’s reaction is skeptical.
A prosecution official said: “It is vague in what way the prosecution should assist in situations where the prosecution cannot lead the police investigation due to the adjustment of investigative power.”
Concerns about a flawed police investigation … “Limited degree of inspection clearance”
Lee Sang-min and the Democratic Party suggested that it is worth actively considering how to send experienced prosecutors to the noodles. Regarding this, Lee Mi-hyun, professor at Yonsei University School of Law, said: “The dispatched prosecutor may provide some assistance in the investigation, but there is concern that problems may arise at the prosecution stage. “. The other prosecutors’ prosecutors, not the assigned prosecutors, will have to decide whether or not to prosecute. In that case, Professor Lee pointed out that in such a case it takes too long and it is difficult to understand the case properly because a large amount of the investigation data only needs to be captured in documents. Even after prosecution, there is a risk of recognizing the accused who must be found guilty for failing to maintain prosecution.
There is also an illegal controversy about the appearance of Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun calling Nam Gu-jun, head of Noodles headquarters, and directing him. Representative Kim Ki-hyun, a former judge, emphasized that it was “illegal” and said, “What are the requirements of the Prime Minister to conduct investigations against neutral investigative agencies?”
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on the 9th. News 1
In accordance with articles 14 and 16 of the Law of Organization and Operation of the National Police and the Autonomous Police, the noodle copies must be directed and supervised by the head of the Noodle Headquarters. For a neutral investigation, not even the chief of police can interfere. Of course, in the case of an urgent and important investigation that poses a serious risk to people’s property, the Commissioner of the National Police Agency can lead. If the suspected LH investigation falls into these conditions, then Prime Minister Chung should conduct the investigation through the head of the police agency, but Representative Kim argues that he violated the legislative purpose by directing the head of Noodle’s headquarters. Furthermore, as Prime Minister Chung is a politician belonging to the Democratic Party, he pointed out that the degree of violation of the neutrality of noodles is serious. Furthermore, criticism of the “self-investigation” has also been raised due to the fact that the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transport, which is a possible investigation target, is included in the joint government investigation team.
Fiscal Investigator “This investigation is ruined”
One person claiming to be a prosecution investigator claimed to the blind, an anonymous community request for office workers, “This investigation is ruined.” “There are too many prosecutors and investigators in the prosecution who want to do such an investigation, but it is regrettable (the prosecution has been excluded from the investigation).”
