Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae pointed out that a problem was found in the process of requesting the exclusion of prosecutor Jeong Jin-woong, who was charged with assault by the prosecutor Han Dong-hoon.
Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae said, "In the process of requesting the Minister of Justice to suspend the execution of the duties of Deputy Prosecutor Jeong Jin-woong, the prosecutor general of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office formally raised an objection and was excluded from approval.
Criticism of the results of public opinion polls that Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol ranked first in the approval ratings for the next presidential power announced yesterday (11th) as "a result of the reform of the prosecution of Chu Mi-ae-sik" Despite this being raised, he is in a hurry to attack Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol every day.
Minister Chu also questioned the prosecution process for Prosecutor Jin-woong Chung.
Minister Chu said, "I instructed the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to check and report on the adequacy of the prosecution for self-righteous assault, and will decide whether to suspend the execution of the duties of Deputy Prosecutor Chung by closely reviewing the results of the investigation."
He also mentioned Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, who is classified as an aide to President Yoon Suk-yeol.
Minister Chu said, "A suspect such as a prosecutor has maliciously concealed a mobile phone password and interfered with the investigation," he said. "Refer to foreign legislation and instructed to review the enactment of a law to sanction in case of non-compliance."
The legal and politicians are keenly aware of what variables Chu's “smacking of Yoon Seok-yeol or his aide” will become in the current situation.
