‘Complete review, complete corruption’
It is an eight-letter statement that the Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol expressed his assertion on the reorganization of the ruling party’s investigation right on the 3rd. President Yoon left these words on his visit to the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office on the same day. “I think the so-called’complete prosecution’ (complete deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate) in progress is a’correction of corruption’ that completely sells corruption, which is a great violation of the spirit of the constitution, and I think it is a violation of the constitutional obligations of the state and government .”
With the aim of handing over the right of direct investigation for the six major (corruption, economy, public officials, election, defense, and major disaster) crimes left by the prosecution to the prosecution, the Democratic Party’s reorganization of the investigation power of the Democratic Party was announced. After showing no reaction, he broke the silence through a media interview on the 1st. “If I bet on a job, I will bet even 100 times”, “Annihilation of the rule of law, regression of democracy” and so on. In an interview with the JoongAng Ilbo on the 2nd, he was praised as “The retreat of history to go back to the era of political and economic convergence.” On this day, he raised the level, saying, “The corruption will be completely overrun.”

Justice Minister Park Beom-gye did not budge at the conviction. Rather, on this day, “to respond strongly to corruption in all areas of the economy and society is to protect the people and is a constitutional duty of the state and the government. Investigation and prosecution that countering corruption is possible only when the investigation and court trial activities, which are the preparation process of the trial, are organically integrated, because it is necessary to respond to the rule of law in accordance with the principles of due process, guaranteeing the right to defend, and court-centeredness.” The inability to separate was emphasized again.
Yoon said at a meeting with 30 people including Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office, District Prosecutors’ Office, and investigators. Regarding the legislative deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate, it was evaluated that “to make the prosecution into a national legal service corporation only to file a lawsuit without investigating command or investigation.” Regarding the comments of Minister Park Beom-gye on this day, “It is good to meet and talk in person, but there is also a regrettable aspect to talk to the media,” he said. “I thought it was the purpose of public officials to give correct explanations so that the people can make correct judgments.” Explained.
Participants also said, “I’m worried that you will know that your home is burned when intelligent crimes rise and shake the foundations of the country.” It is said that he poured out opinions such as “I am curious about what it will mean” and “I can’t get it.” As the discussion continued, the meeting, which was scheduled for two hours, ended around 7 pm on this day, about an hour late.

On this day, the tone of President Yoon, surrounded by the cameras of the reporters, was unobstructed and determined as if reading the prepared manuscript. However, General Yoon avoided an immediate answer to the question, “If your passport enforces the installation of the heavy water office, will you resign before your term of office”, saying, “It is difficult to say that right now.”
President Yoon’s visit to Daegu on this day is the last tour schedule following Busan and Gwangju in February of last year and Daejeon in October of last year. It is also the first external move after the former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae’s job suspension or disciplinary attempts, etc., and then returned to office by the court’s brakes. Daegu is also a special place for Yoon. I spent my first year here in 1994, and in 2009 I worked as a special department manager for the Daegu District Prosecutors’ Office. After serving as the head of the investigation team for the comment manipulation case of the National Intelligence Service in 2013, he was relegated to the Daegu High Prosecutor’s Office and worked for two years. General Yoon said, “It is a town that embraced me warmly during difficult times. After 5 years of leaving, I am very impressed, and I feel like I have come to my hometown.”

In this regard, one prosecution officer said, “I know that the majority of prosecutors at the front line have concerns and opposition to the Heavy Water Administration.”
