On the 17th, the first candidate Kim Jin-wook, head of the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office (KAI), announced on the 17th that he would not follow the direction of the prosecution’s investigation with regard to the direction of future airlift operations. In particular, he said he would be fair even if an investigation into the president’s aide proceeds.

Candidate Kim said in a written answer submitted to the National Assembly two days before the personnel hearing that day, “It is not desirable for the airlift to collect information directly.” It is advisable to initiate an investigation.” He emphasized the fact that the prosecution and the airlift are different from the prosecution, which collects criminal information directly and sometimes causes controversy over the inspection.

Regarding the formation of an investigative team from the air defense agency, which attracts attention, candidate Kim said that it is correct not to receive the dispatch of incumbent prosecutors. He said, “It is not important that the current prosecutor’s experience is important, and the number of prosecutors will not be appointed other than the half stipulated by the law.” In addition, he said, “A person who fully understands the legislative purpose of the Airborne Law and possesses the will and ability to conduct strict investigations without sanctuary, but has a warm heart that considers human rights while being integrity and fair I will offer you.”

Candidate Kim said that he would follow the laws and principles to point out whether it would be possible to investigate the most powerful persons such as the President or his aide. He pointed out,’Will it be possible to boldly order the investigation of the president or his aide’, he said, “We will keep political neutrality and make the investigation fair, objective and rational in accordance with laws and principles.” “We are conceiving a plan to prevent external pressure through “.
