Kim Jin-wook, head of the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation agency, decided to re-transfer to the prosecutors the alleged investigation by Lee Seong-yoon, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, in connection with the suspicion of illegal departure from the former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui.
On the 12th, the Minister of Public Affairs and Public Affairs said on Facebook on the 12th that, “After struggling over the direction of handling the case transferred from the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, I decided to transfer to the prosecution.”
“The first thing we considered with regard to the handling of this case was the purpose of the establishment of the Air Convicts Act and the enactment of the Air Convicts Act,” said Kim. “The airlift is a system designed to investigate these kinds of cases. In particular, Article 25, Paragraph 2 of the Airlift Act is the so-called The provisions were made to prevent this because of the prosecution’s problem surrounding my family.” “In view of these points, the airlifter has first reviewed the method of investigating the case that was transferred directly, but it may take three to four weeks or more as the airlifter is currently selecting prosecutors and investigators, so it is not a realistic condition to focus on the investigation. I couldn’t ignore the fact that I didn’t.”
Chief Kim said that he had also considered sending prosecutors to the prosecution. He said, “For this reason, other investigative agencies, especially the prosecution, have reviewed plans for investigating by dispatching investigative personnel, but we were forced to ponder whether dispatching and investigating prosecutors suits the purpose of the Airlift Act.”
Deputy Chief Kim also said that he considered a plan to hand over the case to the police, but came to a conclusion that it was not realistically correct. Director Kim said, “In accordance with Article 24, Paragraph 3 of the Airlift Act, we also reviewed the option of transferring the case to other investigative agencies at the discretion of the Minister of Airborne Affairs.” “It is a plan to retire to the police or to the prosecution. “We had to take into account the realistic conditions of the investigation and the practice of handling cases in relation to the prosecution,” he said. It has been pointed out that when the case is transferred to the police, the central district prosecutor, Lee Seong-yoon, who is the subject of the investigation, is in a position to approve a supplementary investigation and a warrant claim against him, depending on the jurisdiction.
In particular, Kim explained that he considered the fact that it would not be fair for the investigation to be delayed for three to four weeks due to the situation of the airlift. He said, “The investigation should be fair and at the same time,” he said. “In this regard, it is unnecessary fairness for the investigation of the airlift that it takes 3 to 4 weeks for the airlift office at the beginning of the establishment to proceed with the investigation of the case at the same time. It was important to take into consideration that it should not appear to cause controversy or to lead to an investigation gap.”
