Prosecutor General Cho Nam-gwan (56, training institute 24) accepted the investigation command of Justice Minister Park Beom-gye in relation to the suspicion of “Han Myung-sook investigation team’s mother harm perjury”, but instead of accepting the investigation and command of Justice Minister Park Beom-gye on the 18th, the first-line high prosecutors also attended a meeting of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office proposed by Minister Park. . The’Expansion Meeting for Chief Swordsman and High Swordsman’ made him reconsider the decision he had made on the 5th.
‘Autumn Greetings’ 3~4 heads of the Great Swordsman Herpes “concerned about fairness”
“Collective Intelligence” 6 members of the high swordsman, etc. Expansion meeting at 10 o’clock on the 19th
In the legal world, former Minister Choo Mi-ae is said to be the “trick of counterattack” by Cho, who overturned the number of inferiority by joining six high swordsmen, taking into account the fairness of the vice-president who was “isolated by Yoon Seok-yeol”. At the expansion meeting held at 10 am on the 19th, the prospect of not overturning the existing decision to prosecute is empowering.
“I accept the command of the Minister, but I will also listen to the opinion of the high swordsman.”
In a statement released on the morning of the day, Acting Cho said, “The Supreme Prosecutors did their best to ensure fairness according to rational decision-making guidelines in the process of dealing with this case, and to clarify the actual truth.” He humbly accepted the criticism and said,’We will quickly hold a meeting of the vice presidents of the Great Sword for reconsideration.’ He added, “We will listen to explanations and opinions of the matters and opinions from investigative and record review officials such as (Dong-su Han) and Researcher Im Eun-jeong (Senior Prosecutor Policy Researcher), and have sufficient discussions.”
At the same time, acting as a pro-government prosecutor, taking into account the fairness of the vice-president of the prosecutors’ majority, he expanded the number of attendees of the vice president’s meeting to the high prosecutor. “Internal and external concerns of the prosecutor’s office that it is not enough to ensure fairness only by meetings of all the chief prosecutors working for the great prosecutor’s office.“There is a lot of experience and insight in case handling, We will enhance fairness and increase the maturity of deliberations by allowing front-line high swordsmen who represent collective intelligence within the prosecution to participate in the Great Swordsman Officer’s Meeting.“He said.
Minister Park made a visit to the Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office on the same day, saying that there is no problem with Acting Cho’s decision.

The final decision was made by Nam-gwan Cho in the expansion meeting of the Chief Swordsman and High Swordsman.
The’Guidelines on the Operation of the Council for Rational Decision Making, etc.’, the preliminary rule for the great swordsword, stipulates that the Great Sword Vice President’s Meeting consists of the Prosecutor General, the Great Sword Deputy, and the Great Sword Chief. However, depending on the case, the Prosecutor General can organize a meeting by having the Prosecutor General and the Prosecutor of the First Seon Office attend.
Even after discussions at the’Expansion’ Manager’s Meeting, including the Prosecutor General, the final decision on the disposition of the case rests with Acting Cho, who legally has the power of the Prosecutor General. This means that even if there are many opinions on the prosecution at the meeting of the managers, Acting Cho can make a non-prosecution decision.
Moreover, there is even a view that if Acting Cho followed the opinion of the manager’s meeting at face value, it violated the decision-making system according to the prosecutor’s independent governmental regulations and command system under the Prosecutors’ Office Act. The meeting of directors is only a subsidiary means for rational decision-making, but it means that the decision of whether to make a final prosecution is ultimately up to Cho and Chief Prosecutor Heo Jeong-soo, the third prosecutor’s chief of the prosecution.
Attorney Wan-kyu Lee, an expert in criminal procedure law, said, “Because the prosecutor is a single office, not a consensus-based office under the Prosecutors’ Office Act, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Assembly cannot make a decision on the case, and there is no legal basis.” “The Minister of Justice believes that there is a problem with the prosecution’s decision. If they did, they had to give an order to prosecute them with the grounds, and if later found innocent for the prosecution, the minister should be held accountable.”

“Let’s ask the collective intelligence” on the late’procedural problem’… Elaborate can fight
There is also a meaning of counterattack against the prosecution chief Han Dong-soo and the prosecution policy researcher Im Eun-jung, who led the inspection of the suspected case of perjury, and the prosecution policy researcher Im Eun-jeong, who had been excluded from the non-prosecution decision on the 5th, took the procedure as a problem.
Acting Cho said, “At the time, for the first time to make a rational decision, the’Professional Investigation Advisory Group’ was first reviewed as an external expert, but the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office opposed it, and inevitably made a final decision through the’Six Supreme Sword Researchers’ Meeting,’ and an opinion to Researcher Im Eun-jung. He gave him the opportunity to express, but he refused to attend himself.” The refusal of the rational decision-making process to Minister Park is that he refuted that it was the prosecutor’s chief Han Dong-soo and researcher Im Eun-jung, who insisted on the opinion of’prosecution’.
The joining of the high swordsman is also the result of a meticulous number fight. The final decision on the 18th is up to Acting Cho, but only when the majority of opinions come out at the expanded meeting will have a justification for sticking to the position of nonprosecution.
Among the seven members of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Association excluding Acting Cho, Criminal Director Lee Jong-geun and Public Investigation Director Lee Jung-hyun, excluding the Director of the Planning and Coordination Department, Cho Joong-tae, and Lee Cheol-hee, who are secretaries, are likely to be with the Inspector General Han Dong-soo. Many of the vice-presidents can make prosecution opinions.
However, if the six high prosecutors, led by Cho Sang-cheol, the chief prosecutor of Seoul, participate in the vice president’s meeting, there is a high possibility that the prosecution will be overturned. These high prosecutors issued a statement to former Minister Chu Mi-ae during the exclusion of duties against former prosecutor general Yoon Seok-yeol at the end of last year, and recently opposed the promotion of the establishment of a serious crime investigation office (heavy water office) for passports.
Nam-gwan Jo “Intersected with the exact opposite situation from last year”
Acting Jo said around the day, “Last year, I was in the position of assisting the Minister of Justice as the prosecutor’s office in relation to the Channel A case to lead the investigation, but now I am in a position to receive the investigation command as acting as the president.” It is said that he also revealed his thoughts, “I think of the bottom line.” In connection with the case of Channel A in July last year, former Minister Choo Mi-ae deprived former President Yoon of command and commanded the Central District Prosecutor’s Office to investigate independently.
However, regarding the suspicion of a perjury teacher, he said, “The people are tired from LH speculation, so we should not make them bother with the incident 10 years ago,” he said. “There may not be some inappropriate aspects of the investigation, but the presence or absence of the charges is of a different level.” It is said to have been revealed.
