Another knight, Yoon Seok-yeol… Organizational stability focus and strict investigation notice

As the court decided on the 24th to suspend the two-month disposition of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol’s suspension, Yoon gained momentum to perform his duties. The 12th administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Deputy Judge Hong Soon-wook) announced that it would cease to be effective until the 30th day from the date of the sentence of the judgment on the original case, which is a disciplinary action lawsuit, while deciding that Yoon’s return to office.

Considering that Yun’s term in office is until July next year, and the fact that the main lawsuit is difficult to conclude during his term, President Yoon is guaranteed his term of office until next July.

Accordingly, it is expected that Yoon will try to internally strengthen the prosecution’s organization, which has been in turmoil due to the lifting of the suspension.

In fact, President Yoon announced his will to normalize the organization, saying that he will take care of urgent issues such as the confirmed situation of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) at the detention center after coming to work on the afternoon of Christmas 25 immediately after the court decision came out. He also decided to go to work on the 26th, the weekend to receive work reports.

As Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae’s request for inspection and disciplinary action, which pressured General Yoon, was virtually incapacitated, it is expected that the investigation and command, which had been stagnating so far, will be in full swing.

In particular, it is interpreted that President Yoon announced a strict investigation in the future over what he said, “I will do my best to protect the constitutional spirit, rule of law, and common sense” immediately after the court decision.

This is the reason why the prospect that the speed of investigations targeting passports, such as the suspicion of manipulation of the economic feasibility evaluation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant and the intervention of the Ulsan mayor, will accelerate.

In order to become a fair prosecutor, Yun has always emphasized severe punishment for the crimes of social powers such as living power, but in his passport, he protested that he expressed his will to investigate targets targeting the government.

Some observers have observed that it is impossible to rule out the possibility that a passport that has failed to pursue disciplinary action will go to check against President Yoon through the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office (Airborne Office).

It is said that the allegations of interfering with the investigation of the Channel A case and allegations of the judge’s inspection, which Minister Chu put up as reasons for disciplinary action, may be subject to the investigation by the airlift.

On the other hand, the investigation of Yoon’s “judgment inspection suspicion,” which the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office was in charge of, has been reassigned to the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office. The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office is underway to investigate the allegations of misconduct by President Yoon’s family and close friends.
