Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol directly hit an attempt to completely deprive the prosecution of the passport through an unusual media interview for the second day. Accordingly, it is noted that Yoon, who visits the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office on the afternoon of the 3rd, is expected to make an additional speech.
In an interview with the JoongAng Ilbo that day, General Yoon said about the passport’s attempt to’complete the inspection’ (complete deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate the prosecution) through the establishment of the Severe Crime Investigation Office (SMB). The competency against corruption crimes must be preserved by combining investigation and prosecution,” he strongly opposed.
Yoon also pointed to his passport, saying, “You may want to expel me,” and “Just because I hate you, you should not take the safety and interests of the people hostage.” It is necessary to distinguish between the antipathy of the passport against General Yoon and the shaking of the national investigation system, and the prosecution’s attempt to deprive the authorities of investigation is interpreted as revealing the problem that the passport is taking the people’s safety and interests hostage.
General Yoon also made it clear that he would not stick to the job, saying, “What is important to be like that seat?”
Yoon emphasized, “The nationwide prosecution network, with the chief of which is the top, can be removed under the command of the Minister of Justice. Even under the minister, it means to strengthen the capacity to respond to corruption crimes by combining investigation and prosecution.”
General Yoon said, “Even in the form of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Office, Financial Investigation Office, Security Office, etc., we must combine investigation and prosecution to deal with major cases and have the national response capabilities for major crimes.” If that doesn’t work, it hurts the people, so the investigation is done by collecting national taxes,” he emphasized.
“The prosecution remains only in the area that allows the powerless people to breathe by punishing the poor people and the bad guys who harass the powerless commoners,” said Yoon. “If we deprive it of that, we will retreat our society.” He repeatedly pointed out that in the end the damage will be done to the people, he added, “It means that the people are not’dog pigs’. Who will be able to obey the law?”
Meanwhile, President Yoon is expected to present an additional message to the Heavy Water Administration at the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office and District Prosecutors’ Meeting on this day. The opinions of front-line prosecutors on the installation of the heavy water office are also scheduled to come out on the spot, so the attention of the legal and political circles is focused on the level of remarks by President Yoon, who received a warning from the Blue House the day before “respect the National Assembly.”
