People’s Power Geun-sik Kim, Chairman of the Seoul Song Pa-byeong Party Committee, told Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae: “Read the law correctly” and said: “You must come out of the illusion that the Attorney General is the subordinate of the minister. ”

Professor Kim said on Facebook that day: “Minister Chu, the Attorney General is not a public official under the command of the Minister of Justice. Please read the law correctly.” “The Minister of Justice is the main supervisor of the affairs of the prosecution.” In this regard, the attorney general is not subordinate to the minister. ”

Earlier, Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol said in the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office the day before, “The Attorney General is precisely not a subordinate of the Minister of Justice.” The ruling party legislators who were in the place of the bureaucracy immediately protested and Minister Chu said on his Facebook page that “the attorney general is a public official under the command and supervision of the Minister of Justice.”

In this regard, Professor Kim pointed out that “as far as the investigation is concerned, the fact that the attorney general is not a subordinate of the Minister of Justice and the misunderstanding that the minister directs the president at will is cause for intervention politics”.

Professor Kim said, “Article 8 of the Prosecution Law is the legislative purpose of minimizing and limiting the minister’s investigations,” he said. “If the minister interprets this arbitrarily and misinterprets that he is a superior person who directs and supervises the attorney general and prosecutors at will, that is the neutrality and independence of the prosecution. It is an offense.”

“To be independent from power and to be able to investigate living power as the president said at the appointment ceremony, the attorney general must escape the illusion that the minister’s subordinates,” he said. “Investigate cases of power-type corruption, cases of political corruption, electoral crimes, etc. He argued that article 8 of the Law on the Prosecutor’s Office is the device that prevents the prosecutor’s office from receiving specific command and supervision from politicians and the Minister of Justice.

In addition, “the Law of the Prosecutor’s Office has the precise purpose of avoiding the participation of the Minister of Justice, who is a politician with respect to the independence of the fiscal organization, especially the investigation and prosecution,” he said. “In the Law of the Prosecutor’s Office, the ranks of the prosecutors are only the attorney general and the prosecutors.” As the minister is not a prosecutor but a politician, he cannot intervene in the investigation and prosecution. ”

Meanwhile, Professor Kim said on Facebook the day before: “Because the attorney general is not a subordinate of the minister in the national office, the Democratic Party lawmakers stepped forward like bees and shouted why he did not follow the command, asking if the president was a friend of the minister. ” “The gangsters are still in the hierarchical order. He said, ‘Is the prosecution reform what I was yelling out loud?”

On the same day, he posted another post on Facebook and criticized Park Bum-gye and the Democratic Party legislator, saying, “When did you say that Yoon Seok-yeol was a fair prosecutor, and now that fair Yoon Seok-yeol is in really a bad prosecutor? He’s really cruel. ”

Professor Kim said: “When Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol investigated the settlement of the ruling of the Moon Jae-in regime at the time of the Central District Attorney’s Office, the Democratic Party applauded, cheered and even protected the audience. He criticized: “I became the head of the created prosecutors who resisted.”

At the same time, he raised his voice and said, “It is to make a political accusation to recognize the accusation as a means of ‘甘 呑 苦 吐 (goto exclamation)’.”
