Not long ago, Deputy Prosecutor Jeong Jin-woong was handed over to trial for assaulting Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon during the seizure and search process, and Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae ordered to investigate whether there were any problems in the process.
After seeing the results of the investigation to see if the prosecution process was appropriate, he would decide whether to remove Prosecutor Jinwoong Jeong from work.
This is Kang Cheong-wan.

Ministry of Justice said on the 5th that Minister Choo Mi-ae ordered the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to investigate the truth about the process of prosecuting Deputy Prosecutor Jeong Jin-woong.
This is the reason why the media reported suspicion that the Seoul high prosecutor had ruled out the chief prosecutor in the process of handing over the deputy prosecutor Chung to the trial on charges of self-defense assault.
In addition, he added that there were procedural problems, such as the prosecutor general's objection, while the prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol requested the suspension of his duties on the 6th.
Minister Chu's position is that he will judge the deputy prosecutor's job exclusion requested by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office based on the investigation results of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
Previously, during the investigation of the alleged attempted force of Channel A, Deputy Prosecutor Jeong was handed over to trial on charges of ‘self-direct assault.’
In this case, the prosecutor in question is generally excluded from the job, but he continued his work and was criticized for being unusual.
In particular, a controversy over equity was raised in that the prosecutor Han was immediately excluded from his job when suspicion of attempting to be forced into Channel A arose.
The Seoul High Prosecutor's Office explained that there was no internal disagreement in handing over Prosecutor Chung to trial.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office refuted the Ministry of Justice's point that there was a problem with the procedure, saying that the suspension of the execution of the prosecutor's office is the president's own authority.
