<Anchor> The
disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice, which will determine the fate of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, continues to hold meetings until this time.
When the disciplinary status and level of disciplinary action are decided, only the procedure for re-approval by President Moon Jae-in remains after the request of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae.
Let's go to the field.
Reporter Joon-Woo Bae, is the meeting still over?
<Reporter>
Yes, it is.
The Prosecutor's Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice is continuing to discuss whether or not the Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is disciplined and the level of the disciplinary action, which is getting a little longer than expected.
There are observations that a dismissal will be imposed, but considering that Yoon's remaining term of office is about seven months, it will be virtually the same as dismissal, and such evaluation is also coming out.
Suspension is the next highest'severe discipline' after dismissal and dismissal.
The special lawyer Yoon Seok-yeol's side strongly refuted the disciplinary procedure.
Attorney Wan-gyu Lee criticized the fact that the outcome had been decided after the witness interrogation procedure was completed, and said he would take legal action.
Earlier, Chairman Jeong Han-jung emphasized repeatedly that he would try not to lose fairness.
[Jeong Han-jung/Prosecutor and disciplinary chairperson of the Ministry of Justice Acting as representative: The minister is responsible for proving the alleged disciplinary action.
I will judge only by looking at whether the allegations are elucidated by the evidence.]
However, since General Yoon's concluding statement procedure has not been carried out, there is also such criticism as to whether there is a procedural flaw over this.
If the disciplinary action against President Yoon is decided, the disciplinary action will take effect through the recommendation of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae and finally through the home of President Moon Jae-in.
