Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol will visit Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office on the 3rd. In a situation where there is growing opposition within the prosecution against the abolition of the prosecution’s right to investigate the passport and the establishment of the Heavy Crimes Investigation Office (heavy water office), it is noteworthy whether Yoon will directly deliver a message.
3rd Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office, District Prosecutors’ Visit
Will the message’Opposite Heavy Water Administration’ come out?
According to the legal community on the 1st, President Yoon is planning to visit the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office on the 3rd and hold a meeting with the staff. This visit is for a tour of the national prosecutors’ office, which has been continuing since February of last year. Yoon’s tour schedule was temporarily suspended after a visit to Daejeon High School and District Prosecutors’ Office in October last year due to a request for disciplinary action by former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae. This is the first public schedule after Yoon returned to work in December of last year.
Public attention is drawn to Yun’s mouth. Yoon is said to be thinking about all measures, including placing the post of prosecutor-general at the Jungsu Office. In addition, as his term of office ends in July, it may be the last foreign schedule, so there are observations that there will be a statement of position sooner or later in some way. The 3rd, which is the scheduled visit date, is also the day when the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office finishes collecting internal opinions related to the Heavy Water Agency. At the request of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office sent an official letter to the front-line prosecutors’ office on the 25th of last month to collect opinions by the 3rd.
The inside of the prosecution is boiling. It is a situation in which public opinion inside the prosecution can be gathered if Yoon presents a related message.
Inside, it is said that if the ruling party’s bill that hand over the right to investigate the six major crimes (corruption, economy, public officials, election, defense industry, and major disaster) left by the prosecution after the adjustment of the prosecutor’s right to investigate is dealt with, it is virtually no different from’dismantling the prosecution’. Voice comes out. Some point out that it is a matter that shakes the criminal justice system before the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation agency and the prosecutors’ right to coordination settle, and that they intend to create a’plant prosecution’.
Earlier, Park Chul-wan, head of the Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office, Andong District (27th Judicial Research and Training Institute) posted a post on the prosecution’s internal network Eprus on the 26th, saying, “While watching the attempts to install the Heavy Water Office and Public Prosecutors Office,” We must hold a prosecutor’s meeting to gather opinions,” he urged for an active response.

Reproducibility of passport-prosecution conflict
General Yoon also said, “The problem of the entire national criminal justice system, not just the level of the prosecution organization,” “The Heavy Water Service can become an uncontrolled, uncontrolled central investigation department (the middle water department)”, “Investigation prepares for trial. It is said that he is considering a response plan under the perception of’process’.
If the Heavy Water Administration bill is proposed, the conflict between the passport and the prosecution, which intensified last year by the ruling party’s’printing of Yoon Seok-yeol’, could be rekindled. Ex-Ministers of Justice, who had set up a corner with Yoon, including former Minister Cho Guk and Chu Mi-ae, also jumped into public opinion in favor of a bill to establish a heavy water office, which is being promoted with the aim of separating investigations and prosecutions. Former Minister Cho also argued that “President Yoon also supported the separation of investigations and prosecutions and establishment of a heavy water office in the past.”
However, there is a view that Yoon will take a little more time to watch as there is an internal opposition from the ruling party to the promotion of the heavy water administration, and the party argument has not been confirmed yet.
