It was confirmed that two prosecutors from the Ministry of Justice attempted a face-to-face investigation on the prosecution of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol on the afternoon of the 17th, but were defeated due to a backlash from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
As a result of the SBS interview, two review prosecutors who were dispatched to the Prosecutor's Office of the Ministry of Justice visited the Supreme Prosecutor's Office at about 2 pm yesterday and requested an investigation by the Prosecutor General Yoon.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office said, "Isn't the Ministry of Justice trying to embarrass the Prosecutor General to send two review prosecutors for a face-to-face investigation without requiring prior data?"
In response, the great sword was sent back to the Ministry of Justice without opening the envelope that the two reviewers brought.
The Supreme Prosecutors' side contacted the Prosecutor of the Justice Department, Ryu-hyuk, who said, "I don't know."
As a result, there is an analysis that the Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae directly instructed the prosecutor in charge of the Ministry of Justice Park Eun-jung without the knowledge of prosecutor Ryu-hyuk.
The Greatsword has not made an official position on this.
