Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is leaving the government building on the afternoon of the 25th at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul. News 1
The first task of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who returned immediately on the 25th, the day after the court’s decision to suspend execution of’two months of honesty’, was responding to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which is on the way of spreading.
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office said in a text message sent to reporters that day, “The Prosecutor General presided over the’Corona 19-related Countermeasures Meeting’ at the Supreme Swordsman this afternoon, and in addition to the previous measures, he asked the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and the national prosecutors’ office to have three priority.” .
Yoon said that he did not receive any reports on the investigation of pending issues such as nuclear power plant investigations. When a large-scale group infection occurred, including 286 detainees and two employees at the Seoul East Detention Center, which were further confirmed for Corona 19, it seems that they decided to respond to Corona 19 as the most urgent issue.
According to the Supreme Prosecutor General, Yun said, “Set the priority of criminal law enforcement and investigate serious criminal cases first.” Adjust the number of summoners per day, such as summoning with approval.”
In addition, “because the right to travel for interviews between lawyers and their families is a constitutional right, there is an obligation for the state to make every effort to ensure maximum coverage even in the event of a Corona 19 emergency.” “Even though face-to-face interviews are difficult by providing video and telephone booths at each level of prosecutors’ offices and detention facilities He urged them to take active measures to enable online video interviews.”
President Yoon is expected to receive reports on the following day, 26th, on absenteeism and adjustment of investigative power. Reports for each department are collected and reported by the head of the Policy Planning Division.
President Yoon went to work at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul at 12:12 pm that day. Together with Nam-gwan Cho, Deputy Chief Swordsman, and Secretary-General Bok Doo-gyu, they settled for lunch with a lunch box.
