Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae referred to the prosecution's investigation of former Star Mobility Chairman Kim Bong-hyun, a key figure in the Lime Asset Management (Lime) incident today (21st), accusing him of "the great prosecutor despised the people."
In an article posted on the Social Network Service (SNS) today, Minister Chu said, "I wish I was sincere about the reform of the prosecution at least once, but I am really disappointed with such expectations and beliefs."
He said, "Since April 23, when Kim Bong-hyun was arrested, he called for 66 times in three months to inquire about the passport politician and repeated the investigation." It stopped, and the Ministry of Justice and the anti-corruption investigation department of the Supreme Swordsman did not even report it."
He said, "(The prosecution) was trying hard to collect criminal information using prisoners for an instant that they would eradicate unjust investigative practices," he said.
Minister Chu pointed out at Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and expressed regret, saying, "I should have said introspection and apology as a commander, whether I knew or not before I started getting angry with'slandering'."
He also insisted on the opposition party and the media, "Before blindly accusing the minister of'with a letter from a fraudster invoked command over the prosecutor general', we must first shoot the great sword that deceived the people."
