Lee Seong-yoon, who came to work in five days, will’Han Dong-hoon not charge’

Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon came to work on the 29th. He went to work five days after taking a rest with Gong’a, Sonata, and Christmas holidays. At the central prosecutor’s office, payments have been piled up for the assault case of a taxi driver, the vice minister of Justice Yong-gu Yong-gu, the Channel A case, and the suspected investigation of the Blue House Ha Myung. Inside the prosecution, “there is a lot of processing of major cases at the end of the year,” and “isn’t you intentionally delaying dealing with sensitive cases?”

On this day, the Central District Prosecutor’s Office decided that the 5th Detective Division (Director Dong-Eon Lee) would directly investigate the case of the assault of a taxi driver by Vice Minister Lee.

Both inside and outside the prosecution, the observation that the prosecution would directly investigate was dominant. This is because the suspicion itself started from the ‘controversy to care for’ of the police who closed the case of the assault of the taxi driver by the parties on the basis of the agreement of the parties.

However, it is noteworthy that both the chief manager and the command line prosecutor in the case have a deep service relationship with Lee. When Vice Minister Lee served as the head of the Justice Department of the Ministry of Justice, the 5th Detective Chief Dong-eon Dong-eon was the head of the International Criminal Division of the Ministry of Justice. In particular, the 3rd Deputy Deputy Chief, Ja-Hyun Koo, was the head of the Prosecutors’ Reform Department and spokesman for the Ministry of Justice, and has a special relationship with Vice Minister Lee, who was then head of the Legal Department.

Prosecutor Lee is postponing the approval for the conclusion that the investigation team in the’Channel A case’ has decided to deal with prosecutor Han Dong-hoon free from charges. The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Criminal Division 1 (Director Pil-Geon Byun), recently prepared a report of no charge against a prosecutor, and submitted it to Lee, but has not approved it.

In response, one prosecution officer said, “When the conclusion of being innocent against the prosecutor, it was revealed that the’inspection and obstruction of the Channel A case’, which was one of the reasons for the disciplinary action of General Yoon, was unreasonable. “It is to postpone processing because only criticism remains.”

The alleged investigation of the so-called’word-words’ is also an axis of the’Chu-Yoon conflict’. This is because it was one of the reasons for disciplinary action against the incumbent prosecutor general who was the first in the history of constitution. This investigation even triggered a deformed form of investigative command, saying, “Let the president take his hand” from the investigation command.

Prosecutor Lee did not make a judgment on whether to prosecute Lee Jin-seok, head of the Blue House State Affairs Office (at the time, social policy secretary), who was involved in the Cheong Wa Dae’s Ulsan Mayor’s election intervention and the police investigation. In August, the investigation team just before being disbanded by Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae reported to Prosecutor Lee with a’prosecution opinion’ saying, “A large part of Lee’s charges of intervening in the election are acknowledged,” but it did not make a decision after four months. .

Earlier, the prosecution judged that seven Cheongwadae secretary offices and related agencies, including the police, acted like a’election camp’ for the purpose of electing Ulsan Mayor Song Chul-ho, the 30-year keeper of President Moon Jae-in, in the 2018 June 13 local election. 13 people, including the Blue House Civil Service Secretary, were handed over to trial. Accordingly, it was analyzed that the last Ulsan mayoral election was concluded with the’Song Chul-ho elected project’ held by the Blue House in concert with related agencies such as the police. At this time, it is known that the only prosecutor of the District Prosecutors’ Office was against the prosecution, saying, “Let’s hear the opinions of the advisory group” and “we need a complementary investigation.”

Inside the central district prosecutor’s office, there is an evaluation that “the airflow of this district prosecutor has changed a little. It is said that the number of tasks such as rebuking the prosecutor of junior prosecutors has decreased significantly.

Internally, it is analyzed that this is due to the accelerating internal dismissal from the disciplinary action of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. It is said that the suspicion that the central district prosecutor indicted Yoon’s mother-in-law on the day that Minister Chu removed General Yoon from his duties and that the Ministry of Justice was a “post guard” was fatal. Immediately after the resolution of the disciplinary action of President Yoon, the deputy heads of the 35th Central District Prosecutors’ Office made public statements of regret to the prosecution’s internal network.

Meanwhile, Chief Prosecutor Lee went to work on the 28th with a love song. On the 21st, the prosecutor Lee had a medical examination, and on the 24th, he was off work due to concerns about secondary contact with the new corona infection (Corona 19).
