Nam-gwan Cho, deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, allocated a complaint related to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office yesterday (1st) to the Office of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
The purpose of the complaint is to ask the Supreme Prosecutors' Office on the 25th of last month to clarify the suspicion of violating human rights and investigation procedures in the process of seizing and searching the Office of the Investigation and Information Policy Office.
Deputy Prosecutor Nam-gwan Cho, after reviewing the petition, determined that the facts need to be investigated, and yesterday, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is known to have allocated the case before returning to his duties.
Since the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Human Rights Policy has no compulsory investigation authority, fact-finding is conducted first, but the possibility of requesting an investigation to other prosecutors' offices in the case of a crime suspected point cannot be excluded.
As the Supreme Prosecutors' Office is currently investigating the Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, there is an analysis that this fact-finding is actually a fact-finding investigation with the nature of a ‘match-fire’.
The Office of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office for Human Rights Policy was established two years ago as part of the reform of the prosecution.
Earlier, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office issued a seizure and search warrant against the Office of the Investigation and Information Policy Office on charges of abuse of authority against President Yoon in relation to the controversial'judge document'.
It is said that during the seizure and search process at the time, scenes such as a person belonging to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office making a phone call to a person in the Office of the Inspector's Office of the Justice Department were reported.
