The high-ranking officials criminal investigation office (airport office) and the prosecution are continuing their struggles day after day over the right to prosecute the spy case. On the 1st, the prosecution rejected the request of the airlifting agency to “Send Kim Hak-eui after investigating the alleged illegal departure from the Ministry of Justice and send it to the country,” and then directly prosecuted the prosecutor involved in the case. The government officially opposes the proposal for enactment of the rules for the affairs of the airlift. In summary, on the 5th, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office recently delivered a position to the Ministry of Public Affairs, saying, “If the case has already been transferred to the prosecution, the internal rules of the Ministry of Public Affairs should not set the authority to prosecute (in the case)”. The prosecution officially disagreed with the prosecutor’s office when it came up with a proposal to enact the case affairs rule stating that the public prosecutor’s office would decide whether to file an indictment after the investigation was over even if the airborne ministry transferred the case of an offense to the prosecutor or police officer with a judge, prosecutor, or police officer or higher. . The Great Swordsman side said that the meaning of’transferring the case to another investigative agency means that you no longer have the authority to engage in the case’. It is argued that the airlift cannot separate even certain powers, such as the right to investigate or to prosecute. It was a foreseen step that the Great Sword issued such an official objection. Earlier, in connection with the suspected illegal withdrawal of Kim Hak, the Ministry of Public Affairs retired to the prosecution last month in a case involving incumbent prosecutors such as Seoul Central District Prosecutor General Lee Seong-yoon and former Supreme Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won prosecutor in the past photographic investigation team. . However, the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, which has been investigating the case, directly prosecuted the prosecutor on the 1st without consulting with the Air Defense Agency. As a result, Kim Jin-wook, the head of the public prosecution, expressed displeasure, saying, “I saw the article and found out the prosecution of the investigation team.” In the legal profession, there is a prospect that the conflict between the two institutions could become even bigger with the ‘1st case’ of the airlift. This is because the airborne ministry can choose the case of prosecutor Lee Gyu-won as the ‘1 case’. Apart from the prosecution by the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, the prosecutor is under suspicion that he met Yoon Joong-cheon, a key figure in the case of former Vice Minister Kim’s “village sexual hospitality,” and wrote a false interview report and spilled it to some media. The prosecution is hoping that the airlifting agency, which has not been equipped with an investigation, will hand over the case, but the airlifting agency has not transferred the case for nearly three weeks. As early as this week, 23 prosecutors (four chief prosecutors and 19 pyeong prosecutors) are scheduled to be appointed. The suspicion of the so-called’preferential interview investigation’ by the Ministry of Public Affairs against the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon, who was involved in the suspected illegal withdrawal of Kim’s illegal withdrawal, is also raising conflict between the two institutions. There is a preferential suspicion that the prosecutor of the district prosecutor has traveled to an interview in an official car of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and the Ministry of Airborne suspects that media reports related to the case are flowing from the prosecution side every day. Conflict could be further aggravated as the prosecution is looking into the charges of providing Kim’s tolerance and making false interview reports on the grounds of the accusation. The prosecution requested that the video of the airlift investigation room be preserved, which contains the interview process of the district prosecutor, and an official from the airborne ministry said, “We are discussing how to respond.” By Bae Bae-hyun, staff reporter
