is the 20th day as of today (20th) whether the Joint Investigation Team of the Ministry of National Defense is investigating the case of sexual assault and death by the Air Force. Despite the fact that the investigation process is not smooth even though it is a case of great public condemnation, there are also suspicions that the investigation is being put together.

As the sexual assault and death of Sergeant A came to the fore, the Joint Investigation Team of the Ministry of National Defense requested an arrest warrant for the perpetrator, Sgt. Jang, on the 2nd.



As the public opinion criticized that the investigation had been delayed for more than 50 days, the summons investigation was omitted and the recruits were secured.



Second lieutenant No Mo and Sergeant Noh Mo, who are accused of concealing and persuading the sexual harassment case, have also been dismissed without investigation.



In addition, a large number of raids and seizures were carried out during the internal investigation stage, even when no criminal charges were filed.



It may conflict with Article 254 of the Military Court Act, which states that searches and seizures are limited to criminal suspects, but high-ranking Air Force law enforcement officers objected by questioning the legitimacy of the investigation.



However, this sense of speed did not apply to the Air Force Headquarters' legal office, which was pointed out as the body of the investigation command.



The search and seizure of the Justice Office took place only 15 days after the investigation began, and six days after the Defense Minister announced the search and seizure.



A key official of the Hap Sudan admitted that "there is an aspect of not following the procedure properly."



It is also controversial that the Minister of National Defense, who does not have the authority to direct investigations on individual cases, has said several times that he directly directs investigations.

This raises suspicions that a conclusion has been set in advance and an investigation is being conducted. This time, we will have to wait and see that the military will not only put out the fire in a hurry, but will begin to improve its fundamental constitution.
