[단독]”Illegal Withdrawal of Kim Hak, Intervention of the Great Kendo” Internal testimony poured out

The prosecution’s internal testimony that a plurality of chiefs of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office at the time were involved in the prohibition of emergency departure for Kim Hak’s former Vice Minister of Justice came out. At that time, the circumstances of the organizational movement within the Ministry of Justice and Supreme Prosecutors’ Office are being revealed one after another until the illegal departure ban by the photographic investigation team was carried out.

According to the JoongAng Ilbo coverage on the 12th, former Vice Minister Kim Hak-eui appeared at Incheon International Airport to depart for Bangkok, Thailand, late at night on March 22, 2019. It is said that the order was made with the intent of “Ask for a ban on departure (withdrawal) from former Vice Minister Kim”.

The researcher who received the order said,’This withdrawal is illegal. It is reported that the withdrawal must be made in accordance with the regulations of the investigation department.’ It is said that an emergency withdrawal can only be made by investigative agencies that have the authority to investigate such as prosecutors and police officers, and that the request of withdrawal is the authority of the head of the agency, not the authority of the individual prosecutor. An official at the prosecution said, “No matter how legitimate the purpose of the investigation by former Vice Minister Kim, it was a denial on the level that the procedure should not be illegal.”

On the day directed by Manager A, the researchers at the keynote of the Great Sword said that they were holding a unity competition. Not only the researcher who received the instruction, but also the researchers who were present were worried that it was “nonsense” or “illegal” after receiving the instructions. It is reported that some researchers have separately called to Manager A and expressed their intention to reject it. Since the inauguration of the current government, Manager A has been in charge of key positions in the Great Swordsman and the Ministry of Justice, and has been winning and winning. Manager A did not respond to the questionnaire we asked to confirm the facts on this day.

Aunt prosecutor, who was dispatched to the past photographic investigation team at the time when Manager A instructed the chief prosecutor to withdraw money from the keynote researcher, prepared the withdrawal document for Kim, former vice minister of the Justice Ministry. According to the 106-page public interest report on illegal withdrawal from former Vice Minister Kim (submitted by the National Rights Commission), the prosecutor has already ended the case without charges against Kim, the case number of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (2013 brother 65889). With the’emergency withdrawal request’ in the name of the prosecutor in the name of the prosecutor, former Vice Minister Kim blocked the departure.

A few hours later, I wrote down the internal number of the Seoul East District Prosecutor’s Office (2019 internal history No. 1), which was not found in the “emergency withdrawal approval request” submitted for post-post approval by the Ministry of Justice. As a result, former Vice Minister Kim was blocked from leaving the country by a false official issued by the prosecutor, and some illegal controversy was reported through the media at the time. At the time of the report, a legal controversy arose over the fact that former Vice Minister Kim, who was not the suspect in the case, was banned from leaving the country from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Investigation Team without the right to compulsory investigation. At the time, prosecutors were concerned, saying, “There is no withdrawal in this way.”

Under the Immigration Control Act, urgent departure is prohibited: ① As a crime suspect ② If there is considerable reason to suspect that the person has committed a crime equivalent to the death penalty or imprisonment or imprisonment for longer than three years, and ③ If there is a concern of fleeing or destroying evidence, request the Minister of Justice. Because it is supposed to.

On March 23, 2019, on March 23, 2019, the head of the Anti-Corruption Power Department, the Great Sword, appeared. Manager B called the keynote researcher of the Great Sword and asked, “The former Vice Minister Kim has been withdrawn, and the keynote department will take care of it.” Irrational instructions were given for two consecutive days, but the researchers rejected it again as on the previous day. Researchers said, “The order to take the illegal withdrawal of the past investigation team is illegal, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Major Swordsman’s Keynote Department, and there is no authority to order this from the Supreme Swordsman Anti-Corruption Forces Department.”

There are also suspicions that the current Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Lee Seong-yoon, who was the chief prosecutor of the anti-corruption force at the time, was involved until the head of Section B gave such an order. It is not confirmed whether Manager B called the researcher at the keynote under the direction of the manager at this time or made the call at his own discretion. Prosecutor Lee and Director B at the time also called to confirm the facts, but did not respond.

There is also a suspicion that when the key ancestors of the Great Swordsman refused to take over, then the head of the anti-corruption force chief Lee Seong-yoon requested the Seoul East District Prosecutor’s Office to take it over. The same morning after the illegal withdrawal had already been made, the manager called the senior official of the Seoul East District Prosecutors’ Office to inform him that the internal company number was assigned without the knowledge of the Seoul East District Prosecutor’s Office at the time of the approval authority Han Chan-sik. “It is a suspicion that he rejected the request after making a request.

On the same day, an employee of the Immigration Headquarters wrote in a group chat room of 10 employees at 10 am on the same day, “The great prosecution fact-finding team also requested approval, but there is no investigation right, and it seems that the prosecutor’s office is going to be the eastern district prosecutor’s office.”
