The High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office (KIM) decided to re-transfer to the prosecution in the case of’Illegal departure of Kim Hak’s former vice minister’.
On the 12th, the Ministry of Public Service announced on its official Facebook page, “After struggling over the direction of the case that was transferred from the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, we decided to transfer to the prosecution.”
The Ministry of Airborne said, “Because of the purpose of the Air Convict Service Act, and the Air Convict Service Act was enacted, it is in principle that the air convict agency directly investigates this case,” and said, “We first reviewed a plan to directly investigate the case, but are currently selecting prosecutors and investigators. It could take more than four weeks, so I couldn’t ignore the fact that it wasn’t a realistic condition to devote to the investigation.”
“The prosecution also reviewed a plan for investigating by dispatching investigative personnel, but I had to worry about whether sending a prosecutor was suited to the purpose of the airlift.” “We also reviewed the plan to retire the police, but under realistic investigation conditions and relations with the prosecution, We also had to consider case handling practices.”
The Ministry of Public Service said, “The investigation must be fair and look fair at the same time.” “The investigation of this case while the air defense department takes 3 to 4 weeks to form an investigation team creates unnecessary fairness controversy over the investigation of the air defense department, and the investigation is blank. “I had to take it seriously that it shouldn’t appear to be causing this.”
At the same time, the Ministry of Public Affairs said, “(In the meantime), we heard the opinions of many people, and as seen in the recent suspicion of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), we also listened to the voices of the people requesting a fair investigation.” “I said.
Earlier, on the 3rd, the Ministry of Public Affairs took over the records of incumbent prosecutors, such as Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Lee Seong-yoon and former Supreme Prosecutors’ Office Past Photographic Investigation Team prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon, who were suspicious of external pressure in the case.
