The winner of the’Chu-yoon conflict’ was Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. When the Seoul Administrative Court cited a request for suspension of the enforcement of the disciplinary action issued by President Yoon, President Yoon was given a practical advantage in the conflict with Justice Minister Chu Miae. Yoon is expected to immediately return to his duties as the prosecutor general and spur investigations involving government and ruling party personnel such as the Lime and Optimus Fund cases. Minister Chu, who announced his intention to resign after the Cheong Wa Dae’s disciplinary sanctions against President Yoon, went through the procedure of resignation amid the negative public opinion that “an unreasonable disciplinary claim”.

■Seok-yeol Yoon, who won’complete victory’, seems to be aiming at the government investigation

On the 24th of last month, President Yoon was legally’complete’ just a month after Minister Chu decided to exclude his duties and refer to the disciplinary committee. It is inevitably a shock to Minister Chu and the Blue House, who have pushed the disciplinary action and resignation of President Yoon with legal justification.

After the exclusion of Minister Chu’s duties on the 24th of last month, President Yoon gained legal advantage at every decisive opportunity. When Minister Chu referred to the disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice’s supervisory committee unanimously issued a recommendation on the 1st, stating that “all measures such as investigation, disciplinary, and investigation are inappropriate for Mr. Yoon.” On the same day, the Seoul Administrative Court raised the hand of President Yoon, citing the suspension of the exclusion of duties imposed by President Yoon.

On the 7th, the judiciary’s delegation meeting, which is a national judiciary’s representative meeting, finally rejected the agenda of the’judgment inspection suspicion’, which was the main reason for his disciplinary action, and in effect awarded the decision to him.

In spite of fierce criticism, Minister Chu delayed the disciplinary committee’s deliberation date twice and enforced the disciplinary committee against President Yoon. Eventually, after two interrogations, the Ministry of Justice’s disciplinary committee decided to punish him for two months in the early morning of the 16th.

Yoon was immediately returned to work with the decision to suspend the enforcement of the disciplinary action. Yoon is expected to return on the 28th, when the Christmas holiday ends, but there is a possibility that he will go to work at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on Christmas Day on the 25th, taking into account the work gap.

Yoon is expected to spur the investigation of key cases under investigation by the prosecution by citing the request for suspension of execution. In particular, as the court convicted all charges of illegal admission related to Cho Min, the daughter of Professor Chung Kyung-shim of Dongyang University on the 23rd, and admitted all charges of violation of the former Minister of Justice Cho Kook, the court of former Minister Cho, which will be held in the future, will maintain the prosecution and prove guilty It seems to be putting all the power.

In addition, Yoon is expected to focus on investigating the Lime-Optimus Fund fraud cases involving government and ruling party officials and the economic manipulation of Wolsong nuclear power plant No. 1 unit. Previously, the Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office is preparing for a trial by prosecuting three public officials from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy who are suspicious of manipulating the economic feasibility of Wolseong nuclear power plant No. 1 on the 23rd.

■ Chu, who was defeated, seems to step on the steps to resign

Minister Chu, who was virtually defeated in the legal battle with President Yoon, was virtually forced to resign. Minister Chu, who announced his intention to resign to President Moon while proposing a disciplinary proposal against President Yun to the Blue House on the 16th is expected to resign sooner or later.

As the court cited the request for the suspension of the execution of the disciplinary action of President Yoon, Minister Chu is expected to receive intense public opinion that it was unreasonable to pursue disciplinary action against him. Minister Chu and the Ministry of Justice emphasized the fact that they gave Mr. Yoon sufficient’procedural justification’ when he placed him on the disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice, but the cause was lost due to the judgment of the court.
