Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae ordered a joint inspection with the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office today (27th) regarding the prosecution's acquittal of the Optimus case last year.

It seems that it was aimed directly at Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who was then the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

The prosecutor, who handled the case before the order came out, posted an article on the prosecution's internal network and countered the allegations of an insolvent investigation head-on.

the 19th, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, the case related to the Optimus Fund, which the prosecutors dealt with innocent last year, was on the cutting board.



It was a case in which the Radio Agency commissioned an investigation on charges such as fraud and embezzlement of the Optimus Fund.

I'm Yoon Seok-yeol, the prosecutor general.

I was not suspicious of all.]



Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol said that there was no problem with handling the case because it was not reported as a pre-decision matter at the time.



However, Minister Chu Mi-ae instructed the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutor to jointly inspect whether the investigation was conducted by lobbying, and whether it was reported to Yoon, who was the chief prosecutor at the time.



Prior to this, Wonju Branch Commissioner Kim Yoo-cheol, who had been charged with the case by the chief prosecutor in charge at the time, refuted the suspicion of an insolvent investigation by posting a message on the internal prosecution network.



In the first place, with all the investments recovered, the Radio Agency commissioned an investigation under the direction of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and an official from the Radio Agency also explained the grounds for the alleged disposition, stating that "there was no problem as a result of self-investigation and FSS investigation."



In the meantime, in accordance with the regulations, the case was processed with the authority of the superintendent's prosecutor, and there was no fact that there was no report or instruction to the upper line such as Yun.



Another prosecution order from Minister Chu is expected to intensify the political debate over the conflict between the Attorney General and the Attorney General.
