秋’Kim Hak’s suspicion of illegal withdrawal’… “A behavior against the prosecution reform”

When the Ministry of Justice was pointed out that there was a procedural defect in imposing an emergency ban on Kim Hak’s former Deputy Minister of Justice in the past, Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae pointed it out as a’fuss’ and insisted that “It is to defame a fair re-investigation.

Minister Chu said on his Facebook page on the 16th that there was a problem with the process of banning Kim’s departure from the country, “Rather than a genuine apology for the’covering my family’ investigation against former Vice Minister Kim Hak, the Prosecutors’ Past Committee “It is to undermine the activities of righteousness and even a legitimate re-investigation accordingly.” He added, “The prosecution is still unable to self-control the power of investigation, and it cannot be said that it is a behavior that is contrary to the reforms the public wants.”

Minister Chu said that ▶The Minister of Justice could be banned from leaving the country without request from an investigative agency.▶In the event of escape, the investigation was impossible.▶Even though it is a matter of document format that the prosecutor’s withdrawal request Rather, he pointed out that the investigation was conducted by requesting an extension of the withdrawal.

Prior to Minister Chu’s refutation, the Ministry of Justice on that day also clarified through the position data that former Vice Minister Kim’s emergency ban on departure was “secondary controversy” and “legitimate procedure”. Minister Chu repeated the position data of the Ministry of Justice through Facebook.

Minister Chu said, “How can the officials of the Ministry of Justice who worked at the time of former Vice Minister Kim’s departure from the country in March 2019 were my people who had no one-sided knowledge?” and said, “I saw that the hands were turned upside down and they were deliberately woven into’chu line’ “I can guess who they are targeting.”

He then aimed at the prosecution, “catching a straw, driving public opinion first through the media, and then forming a social interest and attention as if it were a case of great illegality and organizational misconduct, and then a typical’theatrical investigation’ that asserted the inevitability of investigation. He also pointed out that I can’t erase the feeling of trying to earn.

Former Vice Minister Kim, who was suspected of sexual entertainment and bribery, was acquitted twice during the prosecution’s investigation, but after a re-investigation, he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison last year and was arrested in court. In March 2019, while attempting to depart from Incheon International Airport to Bangkok, Thailand, former Vice Minister Kim was banned immediately before boarding the aircraft due to an emergency ban on departure.
