Immediately after the criticism of Chu Mi-ae … the third move of this year
Han Dong-hoon, head of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office anti-corruption force, sits at the opening ceremony of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, held at the Ministry of Justice in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, on the morning of the day 3.
Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon (Research Associate at the Legal Affairs Training Institute), who is being investigated on suspicion of “verbal confusion,” is transferred from the Legal Affairs Institute branch to the main office. The change of workplace within the Legal Affairs Training Institute is a very unusual measure and difficult to find at the prosecutor level. It was the next day after the prosecution spoke with the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, through an interview with the media.
According to the legal profession, on the 14th, the Ministry of Justice ordered a prosecutor to go to the Jincheon headquarters of the Legal Affairs Training Institute that day. This is the third time this year that a prosecutor’s office has changed. In January, Prosecutor Han, who led the investigation of former Justice Minister Cho Kook as the chief prosecutor of the anti-corruption force department, was virtually relegated to the deputy prosecutor in Busan. At the end of June, when he was investigated on suspicion of collusion, he was appointed a research fellow at the Legal Affairs Training Institute in the name of exclusion from work.
That day, the Ministry of Justice explained that “it is not a greeting or a telegram.” All the investigators were originally affiliated with the Jincheon headquarters, but a prosecutor was working at the Yongin branch and corrected him. A Ministry of Justice official said: “It has been customary for those who have been assigned to the headquarters of the Legal Affairs Training Institute to go to work at a branch near Seoul,” he said.
However, inside and outside the prosecution, there is a valuation of “someone else’s descent.” This is due to the timing of this action. In an interview with the media the previous day, the prosecutor said: “I wonder why the principle of prohibition of the public announcement of suspicious facts or the rules of public information that Minister Chu emphasized so far is being so ignored in the case of the Channel A “. I’m doing it. “Prosecutor Han also said that if the National Assembly adopts him as a witness for the state affairs audit, he will attend the National Assembly to clarify the allegations.
Despite the Prosecutors’ Investigation and Deliberation Committee recommending that the prosecutor’s office not prosecute, a prosecutor remains the suspect in the alleged attempt at coercion by former Channel A reporter Lee Dong-jae. The prosecution has not disclosed the conspiracy relationship so far. In this regard, Minister Chu charged the prosecutor with the responsibility of delaying the investigation, saying: “Is it necessary for my honor to cooperate with the investigation and reveal the truth?”
