On the 17th, Han-jung Jeong, a professor at the Graduate School of Law at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, criticized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol in connection with the investigation of the prosecution’s ban on departure from former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui. “President Seok-yeol Yoon’s move is also one step faster,” he said.
Prof. Jeong served as the chairman of the disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice, who decided to punish Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol for two months of suspension last year.In 2019, he also served as the chairman of the prosecution past affairs committee, which recommended a re-investigation of the case of former Vice Minister Kim.
Professor Jeong said on Facebook that day, “Looking at Yoon’s disciplinary record this time, I felt as if I saw the shadow of’Hanahoe’ within the prosecution,” he said. But that time was earlier than I thought, and I was surprised that the target case was the banning of Kim Hak, the prosecution’s wife,” he said.
He criticized, “Is the investigation into the immigration ban procedure serious and urgent enough to put in five prosecutors, including two chief prosecutors? Is there an urgent and critical case for our prosecution?”
In addition, he said, “The legality of the immigration ban is largely elucidated by the Ministry of Justice, so let’s go beyond the arguments,” he said. “Our Criminal Procedure Act says that evidence collected in violation of the procedure cannot be used as evidence, but it is the judicial justice that prevents the US Supreme Court as well as our Supreme Court. If it interferes with the realization of this, he ruled that it can be used as evidence exceptionally.”
Prof. Jeong said, “In fact, the President of the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court said, “In fact, the President of the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court often said what the Prime Minister had to say in the New Year’s speech, such as the people’s economy. In fact, the President.” Pointed out.
He added, “Is it the expiration of the term, but the approval rating is on the verge of declining anxiety?”
