Airborne Minister Kim Jin-wook, who was inaugurated as the first airlift chief of the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office (Airborne Service), launched on the 21st, said, “We will protect political neutrality and independence and investigate without sanctuary.”
Deputy Minister Kim said at the inauguration ceremony held in the 5th building of the Gwacheon Government Complex on the same day, saying, “We will do our best to gain public trust with the staff so that the airlift can successfully settle in our constitutional order.”
In his inauguration address, Director Kim suggested three principles to make the airlift a’human rights-friendly investigative body trusted by the people’ and said, “First, I will thoroughly observe political neutrality and independence, and carry out a fair investigation by investigating corruption of high-ranking officials without sanctuary. “He said.
“The independence and political neutrality of the public prisoners will serve as the basis for a fair investigation that investigates corruption of high-ranking officials without sanctuary,” said Kim. “We embody the principle of equality and rule of law before the law, and not on the side of the ruling party nor on the side of the opposition party. “I think it will be possible to gain the trust of the people only through the investigation and the Kisoray on the side.
In addition, Director Kim pledged, “We will cooperate with other investigative agencies while conducting human rights-friendly investigations while complying with the constitutional due process principles, and establish a relationship to cooperate with other investigative agencies and check what is to be checked.”
He said, “We will do our best to discover the real truth, but based on the principle of due process and presumption of innocence, we will do a dignified and modest investigation that does not excessively infringe on human rights,” he said.
Regarding the concern that the anti-corruption investigation capability would deteriorate due to conflicts with existing investigative agencies, he said, “I am sure that if the air defense agency, the prosecution, and the police cooperate and check each other, there will be a win-win relationship that competes in good faith to guarantee the basic rights of the people.” .
Deputy Director Kim said, “In the past, wrong investigation practices that put only the results of the investigation first may have some responsibility even in a closed and rigid organizational culture,” he said. “We have established a horizontal organizational culture that provides fair and transparent recruitment procedures and communicates freely. I will make it.”
To this end, “recruiting talents with diverse backgrounds and backgrounds through a fair and transparent procedure, and transparent interviews involving external members. We will select as investigators and staff.”
In addition, “We will create an order so that checks and balances can be achieved within the organization, operate fair investigation procedures, and implement a horizontal organizational culture for free internal communication.” If it is established, the concern that the authority of the airlift will be excessively concentrated on the chief will naturally be eliminated,” he said.
Director Kim said, “The journey that the airborne ministry is taking from today is a path that our constitutional history has never been on,” and said, “Even though numerous trials and errors and difficulties await, no one has gone, and communicate with the people from the perspective of the people and communicate with the people. I will walk this road together.”
