In South Korea, the confrontation between the prosecutor's top prosecutor, Yun Seo-gyeol, who has commanded the investigation into the allegations over the Moon Jae-in administration, and the Minister of Justice, Ju Mi-e, who was entrusted with the prosecution reform by President Moon, deepened, and the Minister of Justice said last month. We have filed a disciplinary action against Prosecutor Yun for reasons such as obstruction of inspection.
In response to this, the Korean Ministry of Justice held a second disciplinary committee privately from the morning of the 15th to around 4 am on the 16th, and as a result of the decision by the disciplinary committee, the prosecutor Yun was suspended for two months. I decided to dispose of it.
This is the first disciplinary action against the incumbent prosecutor-general in South Korea, and it is expected that the appointed president, President Mun, will soon execute it.
Meanwhile, Prosecutor Yun has filed a complaint that the disciplinary committee, which consists of members appointed by Minister of Justice Chu, is unconstitutional, and is poised to engage in a legal battle with dissatisfaction with the disciplinary action.
