Former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae accused Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol on the 3rd, saying, “Unfair abuse of command power and outright obstruction of investigation” in connection with the suspicion of exclusion by Im Eun-jeong, a prosecutor policy researcher at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.

Minister Chu posted a post on his Facebook that day, saying, “The Prosecutor General must return the case of Prosecutor Im Eun-jung.” At this point, the prosecutor general’s possession of the case for any reason, whether it is a dividend or transfer of duty, is an unfair abuse of command and an outright obstruction of investigation.”

Researcher Lim, who was recently granted the right to investigate, claimed that the day before, he was removed from his duties after 7 days of being granted the right to investigate at the direction of President Yoon.

In this regard, Minister Chu said, “Is it the right attitude of the prosecutor to take the case from the prosecutor who concluded that the investigation was inevitable through prosecution for a considerable period of time?” “If the president rather protects this, where will the’laws and principles’ be used?”

Meanwhile, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office refuted the suspicion that Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol had excluded Researcher Lim from the job, saying,’The case has never been allocated.’
