President Moon said, “As a personnel authority, I apologize for causing inconvenience and confusion to the people as a result,” said Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok.

President Moon said, “I hope that, keeping in mind the judgment of the court, the prosecution will also serve as an opportunity to reflect on the exercise of the prosecutor’s right to be fair and restrained,” he said. “In particular, I hope that there will be no more controversy over collecting or inspecting personal information other than criminal information.” did.

President Moon urged, “The Ministry of Justice and the prosecution should proceed with follow-up measures such as reform of the prosecution and the reform of the right to investigate through stable cooperation.”

◇ Mention of’Judge Documents’ that the Court of Justice said is “very inappropriate”

The 14th Department of the Seoul Administrative Court, which accepted the suspension of execution of the two-month disciplinary disposition requested by President Yoon, was “a great prosecutor in charge of collecting and analyzing the investigation information on the order of the so-called “judge document” claimed by the Ministry of Justice as the reason for disciplinary action. Documenting the origins of judges in major cases and major judgments in the Office of the Information Policy Office is very inappropriate in that there is a risk of the document being abused, and such documents should not be written in the future.”



On the afternoon of the 25th, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who returned to work following the citation of the administrative court’s request for suspension of the enforcement of the disciplinary disposition of the prosecutor general, is coming to work at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul. /yunhap news

When President Moon asked for a disciplinary action by the Ministry of Justice on the 16th, the Blue House explained, “If the Minister of Justice makes a disciplinary request according to the Prosecutor’s Discipline Act, the President will reapply and execute the disciplinary bill without discretion.” It was emphasized that there is no relationship between Yoon’s discipline and President Moon, and it was interpreted as an argument to minimize the political impact of Yoon’s discipline. However, when the court overturned the discipline that President Moon had in place the day before, it was analyzed that President Moon was driven into a lame duck crisis.

Then, President Moon argued that, based on the judgment of the court the day before, regarding the’judge’s inspection’ document that the Prosecutors’ Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice had as reasons for disciplinary action, President Moon said, “Collecting personal information other than criminal information or inspecting I hope that there will be no more controversy.”

However, the Justice Department responded to the Ministry of Justice’s claim that the’analysis of this case was created for the purpose of making a joke by attacking, criticizing, or slandering the court by forming a structure of public opinion unfavorable to the court and distributed to reporters.’ “It is not enough to acknowledge this with the data submitted by the company.” “This partial reason for disciplinary action presupposes that the investigation information policy office handles only investigation information and does not handle information related to prosecution. It is necessary to look at how this document is actually used to maintain prosecution.”
