The people’s power insists that the ex-Deputy Justice Minister’s exit investigation of Kim Hak-ei is illegal. To determine whether it is an illegal inspection, it is necessary to first know the case of former Vice Minister Kim Hak-eui who tried to leave the country last year.
On March 22, 2019, at 11:00 pm, a man approached the Incheon Airport ticket counter and bought a ticket to Bangkok on March 23 at 12:20. The man who traveled abroad and bought a ticket that leaves the country after an hour and 20 minutes in the middle of the night without prior reservation was a suspect. This man was the former Deputy Justice Minister for Kim Hak, who is charged with special rape in the case of sexual entertainment in the village.
Former Vice Minister Kim arrived safely at Terminal 1 where he boarded the plane after immigration, but his departure was restricted by immigration officials from the Justice Ministry just before boarding. When the prosecution learned of the fact that former Vice Minister Kim was trying to leave the country, the prosecution was registered as the subject of an internal investigation and requested an emergency exit ban.

Article 4-6 (Prohibition of urgent departure) ① There are considerable reasons to suspect that the investigating agency has committed a crime that falls under the penalty of death, weapon or imprisonment or imprisonment for a prolonged period of three years or more as a suspected crime , and falls under any of the following subparagraphs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4 (3), when there is a reason and there is an urgent need, the immigration officer may request an exit ban from the immigration officer conducting the immigration examination.
1. When the suspect is concerned about destruction of evidence
2. When the suspect escapes or there is a risk of flight
According to article 4 of the Immigration Control Act, if there is considerable reason to suspect that an investigating agency has committed a crime equivalent to the death penalty, weapon or imprisonment or imprisonment for an extended period of three years or more as a suspect of a crime, and there is a fear of destroying evidence or escaping You can request an exit ban from a government official.
When news broke of former Vice Minister Kim’s attempt to leave the country, journalists rushed to the airport. Reporters thought that a man wearing a white mask and glasses was former Vice Minister Kim, and asked him, “Why did you try to leave the country secretly?” But it was not former Vice Minister Kim. The man behind the man, wearing sunglasses and a shawl, and with the bodyguards, was former Vice Minister Kim.
Later, former Vice Minister Kim said that the man who looked similar and wore a mask and glasses was part of the family, and that the two bodyguards were the ones he called just in case.
Reporters on the scene at the time said it was like a spy movie. However, former Deputy Minister Kim insisted that “there is no intention to flee abroad.”

It is known that three days before Kim Hak-e’s former deputy minister left the country, the prosecution twice dismissed the request for an exit ban. According to KBS reports, the police at the time applied the charges of ‘special rape’ in relation to the suspicion of sexual entertainment in the village and requested that former Vice Minister Kim be prohibited from leaving the country.
Police called for a ban on leaving the country for fear of Kim’s escape, but prosecutors twice dismissed it, saying: “Drop the special rape charges.” The reason for the dismissal revealed by the prosecution at that time was the absurd logic that “charges of special rape cannot be applied because women cannot believe what they say.”
On March 19 and 22, 2019, before Vice Minister Kim left Korea, it was revealed that two legal officers working at the Aliens and Immigration Policy Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice asked if Kim had been banned from leaving the country. . Former Vice Minister Kim, who did not leave the country, told the media that he had verified the exit ban, but the immigration office did not confirm whether he or his lawyer had confirmed it.
President Moon Jae-in ordered a strict investigation into the case of former Deputy Minister Kim Hak on March 18. The following day, March 19, when the immigration control was carried out, the suspicion arose that someone informed former Vice Minister Kim Hak’s if he was prohibited from leaving the country and tried to leave the country based on this.
The prosecution removed former Vice Minister Kim Hak from office. Finally, as the regime changed, the Prosecutors’ Special Investigation Team conducted a new investigation, but on November 22, 2019, at the first trial, Kim Hak-eui was acquitted of the sexual entertainment charges. This is because the statute of limitations has passed. In the end, the prosecution’s insolvency investigation made former Deputy Minister Kim innocent (regarding the bribery charges, the court is arrested on some guilt).
Ho-young Joo said on the 6th: “The Moon Jae-in administration carried out an illegal inspection of a civilian appointed by the president just because the president hated him. It was an undemocratic strategy.” Three officials were sentenced to prison. ”However, it is difficult to compare the cases of former Vice Minister Kim Hak and former Attorney General Chae Dong-wook along the same lines.
The village sexual hospitality case involving former Deputy Minister Kim Hak-e was a criminal case involving political and financial affairs, and former Attorney General Chae Dong-wook was personally robbed. The fact that the internal information network was used is similar, but must be divided into investigations and inspections on the facts of the crime.
The power of the people holds that Kim Hak’s immigration control is illegal. Through this opportunity, it is necessary to retry the full investigation of Kim Hak’s case or conduct a state affairs investigation to fully resolve the suspicion.
