In addition, the Democratic Party announced that it is preparing to initiate a prosecution reform bill with the main contents of the prosecution’s complete separation of the prosecution’s right to investigate and the establishment of a serious crime investigation office.
The Democratic Party’s Special Prosecutors’ Reform Committee held a closed executive meeting on the 25th and held a briefing at the National Assembly’s communicator and delivered this.
Rep. Ogi-hyung, who served as a spokesman for the special commission, said, “The special commission is preparing a bill on the premise of separating the investigation and prosecution,” and said, “We are preparing to initiate a bill through next week or in-party procedures.”
Next, regarding the contents of the bill, “The basic content of segregation of investigation and prosecution is to separate the prosecution’s direct investigation right systematically, functionally, and systematically and install it in the form of a (separate) investigation office.” “The name of the investigation office is the Serious Crime Investigation Office. Its affiliation is collecting opinions under the Ministry of Justice.”
In addition, “for the reform of the office, we are discussing a plan to prohibit the entrustment of criminal cases for a certain period of time after the retirement of judges and prosecutors,” he said. “There are regional and locational issues, and time issues, but we are hearing opinions. I will tell you when it is more organized.”
In addition, “(Prosecutor’s) discussion related to the disciplinary procedure is discussing ideas. There is a prosecutor’s office under the administration, so the disciplinary procedure is discussed at the level of unification at the level of the central personnel committee of the administration.” “We are discussing the establishment of the Case Dividend Standards Committee to institutionalize the system, and the establishment of new measures to allow stakeholders such as suspects to view and copy records of investigations, trial records, and records of unprosecution.”
On the other hand, the Democratic Party drew a line saying, “I have never been concerned” about the theory of speed regulation of prosecution reform raised by some. Rep. Min Hyung-bae said in a subsequent inquiry, “I haven’t said that, I haven’t said that,” and said, “Who seems to have expressed that, but what speed are you controlling? I need to speed it up to adjust the speed.”
