In connection with the public criticism of prosecutor Lee Hwan-woo of the Jeju District Prosecutor's Office for the reform of the prosecution and the initiation of the investigation and command authority, a'online battle' was held between Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae and another reviewer.



When Minister Chu snipes prosecutor Lee Hwan-woo, a Jeju district prosecutor who criticized him on his Facebook page on the 29th, a criticism was posted within the prosecution saying, "Is it pressure to pressure prosecutors who do not comply with the policy of the minister?"

Kook on his Facebook page on the 29th, along with an article on his Facebook page entitled'Who is prosecutor Lee Hwan-woo who publicly criticized Minister

Chu

Mi-ae?' I posted a link.



This link article is a content that raised suspicion that a prosecutor belonging to the Incheon District Prosecutor's Office in 2017 arrested the suspect and prevented visits or exchanges of correspondence to prevent exposure of the weaknesses of fellow prosecutors, indirectly implying that this prosecutor did this. I did it.



Minister Chu also shared a link to the article on social media after a while and replied, "Okay. If you come out like this, reform is the only answer."



Earlier, in an article posted on the prosecution's internal network on the 28th, the prosecutor criticized, "I want to evaluate that the reform of the prosecution has fundamentally failed despite changes in the system such as the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation center," and "I feel that the human rights, command and supervisory rights are being abused." I did.



Internal backlash at the prosecution...

"What is the Minister's reform of the prosecution?"



Confronting Minister Chu's writing, Chuncheon District Prosecutor Choi Jae-man also asked, "What is the prosecution reform that the Minister thinks about?"



Prosecutor Choi said, "I will ask if the minister thinks that it is a reform of the prosecution to relegate prosecutors who do not comply with the policies of the government and the Ministry of Justice, or who do not handle the case in the desired direction, or press them to resign for various reasons, such as prosecution. I can't help but" he said.



He said, "I think it is wrong for political power to cover the prosecution as it is now," he said. "I will come out the same as prosecutor Lee Hwan-woo."



Meanwhile, on the prosecution's internal communication network, complaints were posted about the Ministry of Justice's dispatch of the prosecutor to the Prosecutor's Office of the Ministry of Justice without consulting with the front-line prosecutors' office.
