Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol said on the 22nd: “It is very unwise to deprive the attorney general of command after hearing the stories of people who are expected to be sentenced to harsh sentences for committing a serious crime.” Yoon also made it clear that he had no intention of retiring, saying, “I will do my job no matter the pressure.”
At the National Assembly audit held at the National Assembly that day, Yun made his intentional comments on the initiation of the investigation and the command authority by Attorney General Chu Mi-ae.
He emphasized that “the right to command the investigation is to go through the attorney general when the minister needs to give an opinion. Most lawyers point out that it is a violation of the Law of the Prosecutor’s Office on whether they have the power to exclude the command in a specific case “. He said: “I think it is safe that it is illegal in terms of basis and purpose.”
General Yoon said, “From a legal point of view, the Attorney General is not a subordinate of the Minister of Justice. If you are a subordinate, you don’t even have to create the attorney general’s office. “” The great organization of swordsmen is an organization of personnel to assist the president. It is necessary to operate a vast facility and organization called the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office by spending the budget and collecting taxes from the people. Did not say.” The minister is basically a politician. “If the attorney general who is in charge of the prosecution of the whole country is a subordinate of the minister, it is far from the political neutrality of the prosecution or the independence of the judiciary because the investigation and prosecution are under the command of the politician “. .
Yoon said: “If you look at the media reports, there is also talk of the president of the plant, and you are deprived of the authority of the president, but is it pressure to resign?” He said: “The term of office because the nominee (President Moon Jae-in) does not speak Since it is a promise to the people, I will do my duty no matter the pressure. ” At the same time, remember the president’s words: “Strictly investigate the living power,” he said. “I think you guys are the same, not just then,” he said.
Regarding the prosecution staff, who are excluded from special cases, Yoon said, “I cannot tell you in detail because there is a wide discretion of the staff in charge of greetings,” he said. “Anyway, investigating people with power is very difficult and difficult.”
Furthermore, he said, “it is true that we have to be prepared for several disadvantages when it comes to investigating people with power. If this is institutionalized, there is a good chance that no one will get involved in investigating people with power.”
