‘Kim Hak’s case’ came back to the prosecution

On the night of March 22, 2019, former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui is leaving the airport after being banned from leaving the country while trying to board a plane bound for Thailand at Incheon International Airport. Recently, there has been a public official report that this process is illegal withdrawal due to manipulation of documents and records by the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution, and the prosecution has initiated an investigation.

On the 12th, the suspected case of the illegal departure ban by Kim Hak-ei, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, was relocated to the prosecutor’s office on the 12th.

According to the JoongAng Ilbo coverage, the Ministry of Justice did not accept an application for extension of the agency for the two dispatched prosecutors who worked in the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office (Director Jeong-seop Lee) on that day.

The two dispatched prosecutors were Im Se-jin (34th Judicial Research and Training Institute), who was in charge of the Immigration and Foreigners Policy Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, and Kim Gyeong-mok (38th), the Busan District Prosecutor, who was in charge of the 2nd criminal prosecutor of the Pyeongtaek District Prosecutor’s Office.

Cha said that the arrest warrant was recently dismissed on the 6th, and he has refused to respond to additional subpoenas. However, on the 16th, he announced his intention to comply with the summons investigation, and the situation was caused by the situation that the Prosecutor Lim, who was in charge of the investigation, fell into the investigation. Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won has also called and investigated four times, so it is predicted that the direction of the new recruits will be decided sooner or later. This prosecutor is also the party who requested an emergency ban on departure from former Vice Minister Kim.

Accordingly, there is a backlash from the inside of the prosecution, saying, “In fact, the investigation team disbanded. It is said that the investigation team is also embarrassed that “the main gun (the most powerful gun) is missing.”

One of the chief prosecutors criticized, “The case came from the air defense department to the prosecution again, and the investigation team was disassembled in the air in a car that was trying to receive power from the full-scale investigation.” Another prosecution officer also said, “I thought that I would approve the dispatch because the intention to interfere with the investigation was so clear that I did not know that Tina would interfere with the investigation.”
