The high-ranking public officials criminal investigation agency (airborne agency) took its first step on the 21st as a separate organization for investigation and prosecution. At the inauguration ceremony held at the Gwacheon Government Complex, Kim Jin-wook said, “I will humble and exercise my authority,” he said. The hallmark of the prosecution and enforcement system that was promulgated and implemented on this day is the establishment of a prosecution department separate from the investigation department. The Ministry of Public Affairs explained, “Investigation-prosecution-prosecution and prosecution departments were established, but functionally, they were organized separately for mutual checks.” The prosecution reform was promoted in the direction of separating the right of investigation and prosecution, while giving the authority both the right to investigate and prosecute is a separate organization within the airborne agency in response to the criticism that it is contradictory. The Ministry of Public Affairs is operated by three investigation departments and one public prosecution department, with the deputy chief, the investigative information officer, and the case analysis officer under the chief. The policy is to check the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Public Prosecution and decide whether to prosecute. The deputy chief of the Ministry of Public Transport is likely to be confirmed next week. After the inauguration ceremony at the government’s Gwacheon government office, Kim Jin-wook met with reporters and said, “Would it be (suggested) at least next week. I’m thinking of (candidate). I will do it with revenge.” The deputy head of the Ministry of Public Transport is appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister. As Deputy Chief Kim was a judge, it is expected that a former prosecutor who had a lot of investigative experience will be appointed as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Public Affairs. President Moon, after the appointment ceremony held at the Blue House, said, “As a protector of transparency and integrity of the high-ranking public service society, bring pride and sense of mission as a driving force to lead our society to a more fair and corruption-free society.” Spokesman said. The three-year term of the first Vice Minister-level Minister of Public Transport begins on this day. Although the air defense agency was launched on this day, it will take a little more time before it can be operated as an actual investigation agency. After appointing the deputy chief of the Airborne Department, a personnel committee must be formed to draw 23 prosecutors and 40 investigators. “It will take at least two months for the airlift to be completed,” said Director Kim.
