At the same time, in 2015, when former Prime Minister Han was sentenced to two years in prison in the Supreme Court on charges of receiving illegal political funds, Minister Park as a member of the New Political Democratic Association (formerly Democratic Party) said, “The Supreme Court issued a contradictory ruling that surrendered to power. It was also mentioned that he made a remark that questioned the final judgment of the judiciary.
Prosecutor Shin said, “I am confused because you unfortunately invoked the investigation command right in front of the final judgment of the judiciary six years later,” he said. “It is questionable whether the command was from the standpoint of a’politician’ or from the standpoint of a’state official’.” did.
In addition, “The Minister mentioned’secure fairness’ as the main reason for the investigation command, and mentioned the name of Prosecutor Immo (Prosecution Policy Researcher Lim Eun-jeong, Supreme Prosecutors’ Office) about 10 times in the investigation command phrase.” It has no choice but to be interpreted to the effect that Prosecutor Lim’s opinion is fairer than that.”
“Politics spoils the rule of law”
An incumbent prosecutor, who was part of the former Prime Minister’s investigation team, also wrote a statement stating that he was sorry for a junior who was in charge of investigating inmates, referring to a case where he directly experienced the exposure of false perjury by another inmate who was not related to the arrest case of the head of a local government in the past.
Yang Seok-jo (29th) Daejeon High Prosecutor’s Office said in an article titled “Remembrances and Penance Records of Inmate Investigations” on the prosecution’s internal network in the morning of that day, in the process of investigating the inmates in the past separate fraud cases, “I will give a picture of the transfer of bribes from the head of the local government.” After proposing and rejecting it, he recalled the experience of misunderstanding by insisting that’the prosecutor confided or threatened to confide in the bribe of the head of the group’. “After that, I kept away from the inmates,” he introduced.
In the meantime, he continued to write that he faced a similar situation when investigating the case of a former prime minister. He said, “Before Han Man-ho (who is an illegal political fund donor) changed his words at the trial, rumors were abundant in the detention center that he was’changing his words’, and the investigation team ignored the rumors saying,’There are so many objective evidences, is it possible?’ “We changed our words,” he explained. “The investigation team was inevitable to investigate inmates, the source of the rumors.”
He said, “I couldn’t come out because of the memories of the previous inmate investigation,” he said. “So, the junior prosecutor has been in charge of the investigation, and 10 years later, I’m struggling until now.”

Both prosecutors’ writings posted about 20 sympathetic comments in no time. Many of the prosecutors said, “I feel sorry for the horsestone prosecution.”
One prosecutor who was on the investigation team asked, “Would any prosecutors of speech inmates teach perjury to inmates in order to obtain professional evidence rather than direct evidence?” Another prosecutor of the investigation team at the time also said, “In a case where objective and physical evidence was filled with overflowing evidence, it was not in a situation where evidence was added through testimony, nor was it adopted as evidence.” I cannot forbid the prosecutor to debate whether he will be able to work according to the law and conscience.”
In response, another prosecutor expressed sympathy, saying, “Politics is ruining the rule of law.” One prosecutor wrote, “I am very concerned that you are using the position of minister for the ruling party in power.”
