[앵커]

With Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol expressing his appreciation, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has actually entered the system of acting as deputy prosecutor Nam-gwan Cho.

Yoon will not go to work on vacation until his resignation is accepted. However, it is expected that brakes will be inevitable in cases that the President directly or indirectly commanded, such as the suspicion of manipulating the economic feasibility of nuclear power plants.

From today, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has been converted to the system of acting as the president’s office, right?

[기자]

Yes. Yesterday, as President Seok-yeol Yoon expressed his appreciation and accepted by President Moon, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office was in effect turned into an acting deputy assistant chief Nam-gwan Cho from today.

Acting Assistant Joe went to work around 9 am today, but he drove into the parking lot and did not show up in front of the reporters.

In relation to the serious crime investigation agency that President Yoon objected to, it is expected that the official response, such as collecting opinions from the front-line prosecutors’ office and forwarding them to the Ministry of Justice, will be handled by Acting Cho in the future.

Inside the prosecution, the atmosphere is still cluttered by General Yoon’s sudden resignation.

As the shield to prevent external pressure has disappeared due to the vacancy of the president, there are voices of concern over the investigation of the government and passports.

First, the suspicion of manipulating the economic feasibility of the Wolseong nuclear power plant being investigated by the Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office is discussed.

The prosecution has reviewed the entire case since the dismissal of the arrest warrant for former Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Baek Un-gyu, but it is predicted that it will be difficult to expand the investigation to the top of the line, including those of the Blue House.

In addition, in connection with the suspicion of involvement in the election of the Ulsan Mayor of the Blue House, which is being investigated by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office for one year and five months, it has not yet been decided whether to prosecute additional prosecution against Lee Jin-seok, head of the Blue House Office of State Affairs.

In addition, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Yong-gu, Vice Minister of Justice, has investigated the alleged assault of a taxi driver.

The prospect of Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office on the suspicion of the illegal departure ban of Kim Hak-ei, former Vice Minister of Justice, is also uncertain.

Yoon retired four months before the end of his term, but yesterday was his last way off work, right?

[기자]

Yes. President Yoon went to work at about 6 pm, four hours after yesterday’s speech.

In the lobby on the 1st floor of the Great Sword, the staff who came out gathered in a row, and there was a simple farewell ceremony.

General Yoon said to the employees that he was sorry for not being able to fill his term of office. Let’s listen.

[윤석열 / 검찰총장 : 임기를 마무리하지 못하고 먼저 나가게 돼서 많이 아쉽고 여러분께 미안하고 송구한 마음입니다만, 부득이한 선택이었단 점을 여러분들께서 이해해주시길 바랍니다.]

Yoon took a vacation today and did not go to work, but the vacation is expected to continue until the final repair of the resignation.

Yesterday, the schedule of the scheduled day, such as an interview with the chairman of the Korean Bar Association, was carried out, but the schedule of the interview with the new Deputy Director of the Court Administration Department scheduled for today was canceled.

Earlier, President Yun poured out his intention to criticize the installation of the heavy water office through an unusual media interview, and expressed his gratitude after two days.

President Yoon submitted his resignation, which he wrote directly to the Ministry of Justice, along with his voice, and the Blue House said he would accept it immediately.

[앵커]

Who is the next candidate to lead the prosecution organization for the remaining term of the Moon Jae-in administration for one year?

[기자]

The person mentioned as the influential successor is Seong-yoon Lee, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.

Prosecutor Lee settled in the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office after taking key positions, including Chief of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, Chief of the Anti-Corruption Force, and Chief of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice.

However, it is burdensome that Lee is involved in the case of the illegal departure ban of Kim Hak’s former vice minister, along with the assessment that he lost the trust of his juniors in the disciplinary phase of President Yoon.

Deputy Prosecutor Nam-gwan Cho, who served as the acting agency, is also mentioned as a candidate for the next president-elect.

In the days of former President Roh Moo-hyun, he served as an administrator in the Office of the Blue House, and in the Moon Jae-in administration, he served as the chief of the National Intelligence Service.

Later, he served as Chief of the Great Swords Forensic Investigation Department and Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office.

Former Minister Choo promoted him to the deputy prosecutor of the Great Swordsman, but at the time of the disciplinary incident of President Yoon, he also posted a letter of appeal to Minister Chu to withdraw the disciplinary claim.

We cannot rule out the possibility that the next president-elect will be chosen from outside at all.

The Ministry of Justice should soon form a nomination committee for candidates for the prosecution in order to minimize the period of vacancy.

When the Candidate Recommendation Committee recommends three candidates for the Prosecutor General to the Minister of Justice, the Minister respects the committee’s recommendation and proposes a candidate.

So far, this is YTN Park Seo-kyung at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
