Kim Jin-wook, head of the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office, announced in April that he would be able to initiate an investigation into the’Airborne Division 1 case’. Deputy Chief Kim met with reporters on his way to work at the Gwacheon Government Complex on the morning of the 10th and said, “There are many prosecutors and investigators from the air defense department, so it seems difficult to finish the interview within February.” “Investigation 1 I wonder if it will be around April.” As a result of the submission of the airlift prosecutor’s application, which ended last April, 233 people applied for the recruitment of 23 people, showing a 10-to-1 competitive rate. Director Kim also revealed plans to relocate the government building. This is because there are voices concerned about the independence of the government office in Gwacheon, where the Ministry of Justice is located. Deputy Director Kim said, “We have to look for sites in suburbs of Seoul, such as Seoul, Gwacheon, and Ilsan,” and “I will make a specific plan according to the timing that can be reflected in the budget.” He said the day before, with regard to the courtroom arrest of former Environment Minister Kim Eun-gyeong in the so-called’Ministry of Environment blacklist’ case, he said, “This is a matter judged by the court and has no direct relationship with us.” When asked by reporters,’Would the accusations and accusations related to the abuse of authority be continued to the public incarceration?’, they replied that “the standards for abuse of authority must be carefully established.” Director Kim, who took office on the 21st of last month, has been continuing his’broad moves’ day after day. Following the meeting with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor General, on the 9th, we had dinner with Justice Minister Park Beom-gye and discussed ways to cooperate with the two institutions.
