Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon was appointed. Sim Jae-cheol, the Prosecutor General of the Ministry of Justice and Lee Jeong-soo, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office, changed positions. Most of the executives within the prosecution who were called’Chumiae Line’ are seen in their main positions. On the other hand, the return of prosecutor Han Dong-hoon to his incumbent position has not been achieved.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the Ministry of Justice appointed a senior prosecutor’s office in the first half of 2021. The Ministry of Justice said, “This personnel is the minimum size for follow-up transfer measures following the appointment of major positions such as the Prosecutor General of the Ministry of Justice, filling the vacancy of the chief prosecutor’s office, which had been vacant.”

The chief prosecutor, who was most interested, was retained. Prosecutor Lee is a representative pro-state prosecutor who took the lead in the disciplinary phase of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol last year. He collided with President Yoon over the investigation of the’Channel A case’, and delayed the approval of the investigation team’s innocence against Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon. As all the deputy prosecutors and chief prosecutors at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office turned their backs, they lost their leadership in reality, but they were retained.

Yoon strongly demanded the replacement of the District Prosecutor’s Office, but it is reported that Justice Minister Park Beom-gye rejected it. It seems that Chief Prosecutor Lee himself strongly wanted to remain. With the prosecutor of the district attorney in office, it is expected that a considerable number of prosecutors in charge of the deputy general manager and chief prosecutors who were in charge of major cases will be replaced.

Sim Jae-cheol, who took the lead in disciplining President Yoon along with Prosecutor Lee, moved to Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office. Southern District Prosecutor Lee Jeong-soo takes over as Chief Prosecutor’s Office on behalf of Director Shim.

Lee Jung-soo, the new prosecutor general, was dispatched to the National Intelligence Service from 2017 to 2018, and worked as a legal advisor to the head of the National Intelligence Service and as a prosecutor in the head of the Redemption Clearing TF. When former Southern District Prosecutor Park Soon-cheol expressed his appreciation, saying, “Politics covered the prosecution,” former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae sent him down to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office last year to take charge of the Lime-related investigation. This time, after half a year, he returned as the Prosecutor General of the Ministry of Justice. In the legal world, the word’Shim Jae-cheol season 2’comes out.

Chuncheon District Attorney Cho Joon-tae was appointed as the head of the planning and coordination department of the great swordsman, which was vacant. The new manager, Cho, has served as the vice-president of the investigation team in the case of the former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui with 25 years of the Judicial Research and Training Institute. Deputy Prosecutor Kim Ji-yong, Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office, moved to the Chuncheon District Prosecutors’ Office.

Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Doo-bong, who is in charge of the investigation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant, was retained. The Ministry of Justice said, “We have retained most of the prosecutors, including the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office and Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office, who are in charge of major pending issues,” and explained that “the new system was settled and business continuity was pursued.”

Attorney Han Dong-hoon, who is caught up in the controversy over the convergence of probate with the Channel A reporter, was unable to return to his incumbent position again. While most prosecutors who were called’Chumiae Line’ such as Lee Seong-yoon, Sim Jae-cheol, and Lee Jeong-soo remained in office or moved horizontally and changed to the’Park Beom-Gye Line’, a prosecutor called the’Yun Seok-Yeol Line’ remained in position.

The Ministry of Justice said that it had heard of Yoon’s opinion on two occasions ahead of the prosecution’s officials, but the results of the personnel are criticized that it was merely a food service.
