The prosecution actually decided to cover the suspicion of a perjury teacher by Han Myung-sook’s investigation team.
At 7:30 p.m. on the 5th, the Supreme Prosecutor said, “We judged that there was not enough evidence to admit the charges through a reasonable decision-making process on the case of perjury, teachers, and aid to civil complaints against two witnesses related to the past trial and former and current prosecution officials.” Told.
Yun Suk-yeol, Lim Eun-jung withdrawal from the job ahead of the statute of limitations
“The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has not inspected the prosecution team for the violation of the illegal political fund law of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook until now. In addition, Han, a civil petitioner, was investigated twice by the prosecutor’s office 3 in the first half of 2020, After the lead researcher moved to Insa-dong, the prosecution policy researcher Lim Eun-jeong, who moved to Insa-dong in the second half of the year, conducted a dedicated investigation until March 2, including three surveys with Mr. Han as the lead researcher, three questions and answers, and one reference investigation. We will inform you that it has progressed.”
On the 4th, at 8:40 pm, a press release was delivered to the legal reporters in the name of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office. The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has not inspected the prosecutors involved in the suspicion of a perjury teacher related to the former Prime Minister, and that the exclusive investigation of Han, a fellow prisoner of Han Man-ho, who raised the suspicion, was carried out by Im Eun-jeong, a prosecutor of the prosecutor’s office in Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. It was an explanation.
The attention was focused on the time of presentation rather than the clarification of the supervisory department. This is because Choi’s statute is imminent on the 6th (tomorrow) of the statute of limitations of two witnesses, Mr. Choi Amugae and Mr. Kim Amugae, who will determine whether the investigation team is prosecuting the charges of mother harm perjury, such as mother harm perjury, and further prosecutor Eom Hee-joon, Changwon District Prosecutor’s Office. . And the great swordsman confirmed the final non-prosecution on the 5th.
Former Prime Minister Han was sentenced to two years in prison in 2015 in the Supreme Court on charges of receiving illegal political funding of 900 million won from the late Man-ho Han, a construction contractor. However, this case came to the surface when Choi, who was a witness in the case of a former prime minister in 2011, filed a complaint with the Ministry of Justice in April of last year (2020), saying, “There was a perjury teacher of a prosecutor who investigated the case.”
‘Han Man-ho’s fellow prisoner,’ who requested the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office in June immediately following Choi, raised the same issue two years ago through a petition at the National Newspaper High School and the Central District Prosecutor’s Office, but did not get an answer. The contents of the questions and answers shared by the prosecution department and Mr. Han were disclosed in some media, and suspicions about whether the prosecution practiced’testimony’ were amplified. The prosecution did not come up with a different position.
In the first place, the prospects for prosecution were not very bright. Prosecutor Lim Eun-jeong, who had been in charge of the case until the 2nd, just before the exclusion from the Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, announced the prosecution’s opinion of the prosecution’s witness. Because I lost.
Prosecutor Lim also said on his Facebook page, “The prosecution’s 3rd chief of the prosecution was different, but the head of the 3rd prosecution was designated as the chief prosecutor.” It has been revealed.
Pay attention to whether the Minister of Justice has initiated the investigation and command right
The remaining variable is whether the Minister of Justice activates the right to command the investigation. As the legal limit for prosecution against Mr. Kim is scheduled for the 22nd, it cannot be ruled out the possibility that the Minister will order additional inspections during that time.
Another variable is the vacant seat that Yoon left. Nam-gwan Cho, deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, continues to work as an agency of authority, but the public opinion is that the situation of the prosecution will not change significantly.
Some have interpreted that the conclusion may vary depending on who will be elected as the next prosecutor general. If the’external blood transfusion theory’, which focuses on the prosecution reform, becomes visible, it is predicted that the speed of the inspection of the suspicion of a perjury teacher at the prosecution could be accelerated.
