The Minister of Justice, Choo Mi-ae, is on the morning of the 9th to work at the Gwacheon Justice Office in Gyeonggi Province. 2020.11.9 / News1 © News1 In some cases, it is noted that the investigation of the status of special activities expenses in the indictment ordered by Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae directed at Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol may revert to Minister Chu’s burden in some cases.
According to law enforcement officials on the 9th, when the ruling party raised the suspicion of exclusive use of special function expenses by the ruling party in the Legislative Judicial Commission of the National Assembly on the 5th, it instructed the Prosecutor’s Office Supreme Court to immediately investigate and report on the execution, such as the allocation of expenses for special functions, on the 6th.
When the opposition party faced that the Ministry of Justice should also verify the special expenses, the Judicial Committee visited the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office in Seocho-dong, Seoul, this afternoon to verify not only the accusation, but also the documents. on the details of the execution of the special performance expenses of the Ministry of Justice.
If the investigation and verification of documents by the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office reveals the circumstances of President Yun’s misuse, the possibility of leading to prosecution cannot be ruled out. However, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office previously explained that “the special performance expenses of the prosecutor’s office are executed through the establishment and execution of monthly and quarterly execution plans, and additional executions are executed according to the situation of the investigation, and the data of execution are handled in accordance with the pertinent regulations ”. He said: “I heard that the investigation team is going through difficulties due to the fact that they have not paid special expenses until recently,” but the accusation is known to be different from the facts. This is the position. However, the central district attorney’s office is said to have been assigned more special activities expenses than combined with attorneys general in the east, south, north and west of Seoul due to the large scale and concentration of cases.
Therefore, if no special problems are identified in the actual situation of the execution of special activities expenses of President Yun, it could be an obstacle for the minister. This is because the criticism that the investigation was ordered based solely on the unconfirmed suspicion of political initiatives could be involved.
There are also observations that the Ministry of Justice is also using special expenses, so that Minister Chu can be hit by a ‘boomerang’.
Special processing expenses are assigned to the Prosecutor’s Office through the Office of the Ministry of Justice, and the prosecutors assign them to the head of the agency in response to the demand for investigative activities and information gathering. It is known that the Ministry of Justice first withdrew some of the special expenses of the prosecution of about 9.4 billion won and sent them to the grand prosecutor.
According to the “Guidelines for the Execution of the Budget and Operational Plan of the Fund” of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the expenses of special activities are expenses incurred directly for the investigation of information and cases that require confidentiality and equivalent activities to carry out the administration state. It is known that the special expenses of the Ministry of Justice are allocated to immigration offices, etc., but if the fact of non-intended use is revealed, this can also be a problem.
While some raised the illegality of whether it was appropriate for the Minister of Justice to direct orders to the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office rather than the Ministry of Justice inspector, a civic group paid 1,000 to 2,000 million won a year for special Ministry of Justice expenses. Justice, which did not suit his purpose. If it was illegal, he asked the great sword to investigate the day before (8).
On the one hand, some say this work should be used as an opportunity to examine the appropriateness of special expenses.
In an interview with YTN Radio, former Justice Party lawmaker Park Won-seok said: “Because special activity expenditures are extremely rare areas in the government budget, it is desirable that they be used only in areas unnecessary and unavoidable. To the extent that they can be made public, these improvements should be supported ”.
Civic groups, such as Participación Solidaria, have also urged to minimize the organization and strengthen the management and supervision of the budget execution of special activities to avoid the use of special expenses such as ‘Samjitdon’.
