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

[기자]

Yes, as President Moon accepted the resignation of former President Yoon Suk-yeol this morning, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office officially changed from today to the deputy deputy general manager Cho Nam-gwan.

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

The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office announced that it will hold a nationwide high prosecutors’ meeting on the 8th of the following Monday at 10:30 am, presided over by Acting Cho.

At this meeting, the high prosecutors will share their opinions on how to stabilize the organization according to the vacancy of the president and the establishment of a serious crime investigation office that was the background for the resignation of former president Yun.

The inside of the prosecution is still cluttered by the sudden resignation of former President Yun.

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 of all, the investigation of the alleged manipulation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant’s economic feasibility evaluation, which is being investigated by the Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office, has been reviewing the entire case since the dismissal of the warrant of former Minister Paik Un-gyu, but it is predicted that it will be difficult to expand the investigation to the top of the ranks, 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 is investigating the suspected case of the taxi driver’s assault by the Vice Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu.

The outlook is also uncertain, such as the investigation into the suspicion of the illegal departure ban of Kim Hak-ei, the former Vice Minister of Justice, under the charge of Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office.

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, the prosecutor of the district attorney is said to have lost the trust of his juniors in the disciplinary phase of former President Yun, and he is burdened with the involvement of Kim Hak’s illegal departure from the country.

Deputy Prosecutor Cho Nam-gwan, who served as the acting president, 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, as former Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, he was promoted to Deputy Prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice after serving as Deputy Prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice.

We cannot rule out the possibility that the next president-elect, such as former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Oh-soo, who was a former prosecutor’s office, will be selected 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.

Justice Minister Park Beom-gye said that he will visit Gwangju today to ponder and discuss the weekends and holidays, and to cultivate the next president-elect.

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.
