Criticism has been raised by some ruling party lawmakers who insist on reforming the prosecution in connection with the prosecution's decision to investigate allegations of illegality surrounding the ban on departure by former Vice Minister of Justice Kim Hak-eui.
In addition, Democratic Party Rep. Kim Nam-guk argued in an article posted on social media today (17th) that Kim Hak's investigation of withdrawal violations was "too repressive, so I can feel his personal feelings.
Rep. Kim said, "Can it be said that the investigation into the case of former Vice Minister Kim Hak-yul ordered by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is not a'retaliation investigation'?"
Rep. Kim also argued, "Since this is an investigation with a lot of misunderstanding and controversy, if you are accused and inevitably have to proceed with a limited investigation, you should have the police investigate fairly, not the prosecution."
Rep. Kim Yong-min of the same party, who has insisted on reforming the prosecution, said on Facebook, "I doubt that someone in the prosecution has informed Kim Hak-ei to flee overseas because there is an attempt to ban departure." We must also investigate whether an attempt was made to escape.”
