Kim Jin-wook's first high-ranking officials criminal investigation agency chief candidate said today (19th) in relation to the various pending cases that the prosecution is investigating, "it is unlikely that all cases will be handed over to the air defense department to investigate."
Candidate Kim answered the question at the National Assembly's personnel hearing today, when Congressman Jeon Joo-hye, the power of the people, asked,'Would you like to relocate the Ulsan Mayor's election intervention case, the Wolseong Unit 1 economic unfair evaluation case, and the Lime Optimus case to the airlift?
He added, "It will take at least two months for the deputy general manager, prosecutors, and investigators to be selected and completed into an investigation body that can be fully investigated," he added. "At that time, you have to decide whether to do these cases or not."
He said, "(The scale of the airlift is) about the Prosecutor's Office of Suncheon," he said. "The airlift will not be able to handle this case."
Regarding political neutrality, Kim said, "If you work with the attitude that you will only take the part of the people, not on the side of the ruling party or the opposition party, it will be preserved," he said. "Shielding against political external pressure will be the first task of the Minister of Public Affairs."
