[단독]Kim Jin-wook, who enshrines Lee Seong-yoon with a private car… The driver is a 5th class secretary

Amid growing controversy over the “emperor investigation” of Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Lee Seong-yoon, head of the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office (KPA) Kim Jin-wook, on the 7th of last month, Kim’s secretary was found to be “mothering” Lee by driving a private vehicle. The secretary is a secretary specially appointed by Director Kim, and there is a separate driver for an official vehicle by the Minister of Public Transport.

According to the JoongAng Ilbo coverage on the 2nd, on the 7th of last month, during a holiday, Director Kim’s driver of a public vehicle did not go to work. Instead, Kim Mo, the secretary of the Minister of Public Transport, moved to the airlift, which had arrived first at around 3:48 pm on the same day, from an alley near the government’s Gwacheon Government Complex, by Chief Kim’s official vehicle.

Secretary Kim took the district prosecutor to the same place at around 5:11 pm on the same day, and then returned to the airlift. If it is necessary to’maintain security’, Director Kim is said to have entrusted the training to Secretary Kim instead of the driver.. this is Reasons for violation of the Public Vehicle Management Regulations (Presidential Decree), which states that’the head of each level of agency should designate a department that manages business passenger vehicles and manage them intensivelyCan be.

Secretary Kim In April of last year, he passed the bar exam (9 times). Along with the inauguration of Director Kim in January, he was specially hired and worked as a secretary in the secretary’s office (level 5 equivalent public official).I’m doing it. According to the “personnel rules for special officials”, which is a preliminary rule of the Ministry of Personnel Innovation, for special officials equivalent to Level 5 ▶ 3 years or more of practical experience in related fields after acquiring a bachelor’s degree in related fields ▶ 1 year or more of practical experience in related fields after obtaining a master’s degree in related fields. You must meet the qualifications. However, it is difficult to say that Kim, who obtained the qualification as a lawyer in April of last year, is based on the time of hiring.

However, if it meets the requirements for hiring level 5 of the public official appointment examination decree according to the same regulations, it is deemed to meet the qualification criteria. In addition, in the case of appointing a secretary, secretary, or ministerial policy adviser, such qualification criteria may not be applied.

Secretary Kim’s father is Moo Kim, a lawyer who served as an executive at a local bar organization in Ulsan. During the 2018 June 13 local election, Mr. Kim applied for nomination as a candidate for the Democratic Party of Ulsan Ulju County and was eliminated from the primary.

Attorney Kim is among the seniors and juniors of Hanyang University Law School of Choo, and is also the motive of the 14th Judicial Research and Training Institute. Unfortunately, Minister Choo was the representative of the Democratic Party at the time and held the right to nominate a party candidate for local elections. At that time, rumors were rumored that Choo would strategically nominate lawyer Kim, who was close to him in the Ulsan government, but it was said that the contest was held when the opposition of the opponent’s candidates grew. Secretary Kim is also from Hanyang University Law School.

For this reason, there is a back-word in the legal profession, “Isn’t it a hiring preference based on a real passport?” Regarding this, an official from the Ministry of Public Service said, “Because I am a public official with a special position, I did not go through the public recruitment procedure, but I do not have any personal acquaintance with Director Kim, and I know that I was hired according to my ability.

Officials from the Ministry of Public Transport did not answer the question of Secretary Kim’s question on whether to drive an official vehicle for Deputy Director Kim on the 7th of last month. Secretary Kim also did not respond to the request for coverage. In connection with the controversy related to the access to the District Prosecutor’s Office on this day, Director Kim said through the spokesperson’s office, “It was unavoidable for security reasons. In the future, I will be more careful not to raise any controversy about fairness in relation to the investigation of the case.”

On the other hand, the case that Chief Prosecutor Lee entered the grounds of the government’s Gwacheon government office and entered the airlift in the grounds of the government office in Gwacheon. (Article 17 above) ▶ Violation of the Government Building Access Security Guidelines (Ministry of Public Administration and Security training), which states that vehicles and passengers, including passengers, must be searched and identified (Article 33). Some point out that there is a possession.

Some of the legal circles have interpreted that if the district prosecutor does not leave any access records and enters and exits the 5th building of the Gwacheon government office where the airlift is located, it is possible to apply charges for intrusion of the building or obstruction of the execution of public affairs by hierarchies.

The Ministry of Public Transport and the government building management headquarters are not responding to the opposition party’s request for access to the district prosecutor’s office for reasons such as personal information protection. On the 19th of last month, the public interest reporter, who first reported the suspected illegal departure ban (withdrawal) from former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui, said, “In the investigation report, which is an official document, the location of (Prosecutor Lee) interview may have been falsely entered.” They accused the chief of staff and others.

Regarding this, the Ministry of Public Service said, “We have recently submitted data related to the access to the air control center, such as video on CCTV of the Air Defense Office, to the public prosecutor’s office,” but Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office said that the submitted data was not sufficient to explain the suspicion.

Deputy Chief Kim interviewed with Prosecutor Lee, and did not leave any records such as records other than the investigation report stating the time, place, and attendees of the interview, so the contents of the interview are still veiled. Prosecutor Lee is a key suspect in the suspicion of illegal withdrawal and external pressure by former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui under investigation by Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office (Director Jeong-seop Lee). I am receiving (abuse of ex officio).
