Ministry of Justice said that Minister Mi-sook Chu ordered complaints from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to investigate complaints related to the former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook.

In response to the case, which was convicted in the Supreme Court in 2015, it is a measure related to a recent complaint that inmates who were witnesses at the time were threatened with perjury by the prosecutor.

Prosecutor Yoon Seok-Yeol said that the disciplinary statute of the case was over and it was not a matter of inspection, and this case was handed over to the Seoul Central District Attorney's Human Rights Commissioner.

Yesterday (18th), a ruling by the ruling party over the cultivation of President Yoon's case at the National Assembly's judiciary led to the inauguration of leadership.

[Kim Yong-min/Deputy Democratic Party of the Democratic Party (National Assembly): Prosecutor General is using the right to dividends and conduct the case.]

[Chumiae/Minister of Justice: I think it should be corrected even now. I will take steps to correct it.] The

Attorney General's exercise of oversight to the Attorney General is the second time since the Minister of Justice Chung Dong-gu in 2005 violated the National Security Law, when the Minister of Justice Cheon Jeong-bae ordered the investigation.

At the time, Prosecutor General Jong-bin Kim resigned shortly after he fulfilled the order of former Minister of Chun.

Conflicts are likely to escalate, as the order is interpreted as the intention of the former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook to repress President Seok-Yeol Yoon and the intention of Secretary-General Chu Mi-ae.
