This is a refutation of the opposition’s assertion that the prosecution should investigate this case.

In an article posted on his Facebook page that day, Rep. Cho said, “I have examined whether the prosecution can directly exercise the right to investigate the 3rd new city speculation suspicion, and if so, how far it is.” “It cannot be considered as one of the six major crimes in the’Regulation on the scope of crimes initiating an investigation by prosecutors’ in terms of identity (subject) and crime content.

As the proposal to adjust the prosecutor’s right of prosecution has been implemented from this year, the scope of the prosecution’s direct investigation has been reduced to six major crimes.

Rep. Cho said, “Because the prosecutor’s right to initiate an investigation was limited and clearly defined by the adjustment of the prosecutor’s right to initiate an investigation, it is not suitable for the purpose of the revision of the law to expand the direct investigation of the prosecution for other crimes.” The system is one of the important girders that support the country. If you touch the girders carelessly, the house will collapse.”

Rep. Cho, a former prosecutor, was a person who spoke against the ruling party in 2019 when the ruling party enforced a plan to adjust the prosecutor’s right through fast track.

Previously, Rep. Ha Tae-gyeong, the power of the people, told SNS, “The Prosecutors’ Office Act made it possible to stipulate what constitutes the six major crimes by the Presidential Decree.” He insisted that the prosecution’s professional investigative power must be fully mobilized in the work of eradicating the roots.”

He exclaimed, “Which citizen will convince that real estate information is excluded while the violation of the Capital Market Act, which prohibits stock trading using undisclosed information, is one of the six major crimes?”
