[단독]”Just judge well because it’s a new government”…

On July 4, 2017, two months after the Moon Jae-in administration was inaugurated, Veterans Affairs Director Omo, who was instructed by the then Minister of National Veterans Affairs, Phi Woo-jin, visited the office of the Independence Hall of Independence Hall, Yun Joo-gyeong (currently, the People’s Power) and said, “The government has changed anew.” . This is the content that appears in the prosecution’s non-prosecution decision against former chiefs of refugee and former chiefs Oh, who were accused of encouraging Rep. Yoon’s resignation (obstruction of exercise of ex officio abuse rights). Rep. Yun is the eldest granddaughter of doctor Yoon Bong-gil, an independence activist.

On the 9th, as former Environment Minister Kim Eun-gyeong was arrested in court in a so-called “Ministry of Environment blacklist case,” the suspicion of encouraging the resignation of subsidiary directors from other government ministries after the Moon Jae-in administration was also attracting attention again. The decision of non-prosecution against the former chief evacuee and former director Oh, obtained by Congressman Kim Do-eup on the 10th, details the circumstances in which the two accused of abuse of authority pressed the submission of resignation by Rep. Yoon.

At the time of the investigation, Rep. Yoon stated that in the investigation as a reference to the prosecution, he received a phone call from the former chief of the blood a few days after former director Oh visited him and forced him to submit his resignation. At the time Former Deputy Chief Pee said that he told Congressman Yoon, “don’t take it too seriously and submit your resignation.”

A few days later, the former Chief Pee, who called again, said to Rep. Yoon, who was struggling to submit his resignation, “I received a lot of calls from many people asking you not to resign. You don’t have to submit your resignation.” Afterwards, Rep. Yoon told the prosecution that he had retired in December 2017 after filling all the remaining terms.

In 2019, the prosecution, which started an investigation due to an accusation by the opposition party, said in February the following year, “Even if there was an act of abuse of authority by public officials, there was no real consequence of obstructing the exercise of rights.” I got off. This is the conclusion to the effect that the charges of abuse of authority by the two are not admitted, since Rep. Yoon has filled the term of office as the director of the Independence Hall.

Regarding the prosecution’s alleged conclusion, the opposition party called for a re-investigation, saying that it was “a conclusion that came out without an investigation into the main suspects.” According to the decision of the non-prosecution, the prosecution had never conducted an investigation into the chief suspect, the chief suspect. Instead, the prosecution grounded on the statement of another suspect, Director Oh, as the reason for concluding that the former chief was not accused.

The prosecution “The suspect (the former chief of staff) refused to submit both the request for attendance and the submission of the affidavit, so he could not confirm the position of the suspect, but according to the results of the director-level meeting, he argues that he was only asking for the move of Rep. Yun as the director in charge. ”“It is difficult to say that the accused has abused his authority solely based on such facts, and there is no evidence to admit the accused otherwise.”

However, in August 2017, the former chief of the National Assembly preliminary committee “Yes, there was a time like that” to the opposition lawmaker’s question, “Have you ever sent the director in charge to urge you to resign?”Answered. The content is different from the statement by the prosecution of former Director Oh that “we asked for directions according to the results of the director-level meeting.”

Rep. Yun Ju-kyung’s memory of the situation at the time is also specific. Rep. Yoon talked to the JoongAng Ilbo “At the time, former director Oh came to me and told me that’there was a story telling me to receive resignation from BH (Cheongwadae).’”Said.

He continued, “A few days later, I spoke with the former Chief Pee and he ‘It does everything else. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already been resigned. It’s not special, but it’s very naive.’They talked with the purpose of “If I set a precedent for retreating in this way, it was unacceptable that the descendants of other independence activists would face such reproach in the future.”Said.

Rep. Kim Do-eup said, “Some of the blacklist accusations conducted by various ministries since the inauguration of the Moon Jae-in administration have been terminated for uncomfortable reasons without compulsory investigation of major suspects.” “The prosecution has determined that the reality of the Ministry of Environment’s blacklist was revealed. He argued that the current government’s blacklist should be rooted out through a re-investigation of the closing case.”
