Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who strongly criticized the bill to transfer the prosecution's power to the Severe Crime Investigation Office yesterday (2nd), continued that voice today.
Depriving the prosecution of the prosecution's right to investigate further raised the level of remarks, saying that it would lead to corruption crimes.

<Reporter> Before
Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol arrived, crowds of people who supported or opposed him gathered at the front gate of the Daegu Prosecutors' Office.
There was a congestion situation that made it difficult for Yun's vehicle to enter.
[Yun Seok-yeol!
Yoon Seok-yeol!] In
the passionate atmosphere reminiscent of a leading politician, President Yoon also expressed special feelings.
[Yun Seok-yeol/Prosecutor General: It is a town that embraced me warmly.
I am very impressed, and I feel like I have come to my hometown.]
But when I made a remark about the heavy water office, my face changed soon.
He raised his voice saying that the strong response to corruption is to protect the people, and that the decline in investigative capacity is only damaging the people.
At the same time, he was faced with the so-called'complete inspection', the slogan of the passport, which means complete deprivation of the prosecution's right to investigate.
[Suk-Yeol Yoon/Prosecutor General:'Complete prosecution' is a great violation of the spirit of the Constitution as it completely exaggerates corruption.]
However, he did not express a clear position on the question of whether to consider resigning as president.
[Suk-Yeol Yoon/Prosecutor General: I don't think I'm going to tell you at this
meeting
.] In the
afternoon meeting with the staff, President Yoon needed a correct explanation to the public about the issue of the Heavy Water Administration and discussed the prosecution's attitude for the people. The great swordsman said that he emphasized the point of asking for consideration.
General Yoon said that he would collect the opinions of the front-line prosecutors' office on the Heavy Water Administration until today and consider whether to issue additional opinions.
The prosecution's internal reaction is that the goal of continuing public opinion battles like this one day after the other, despite the stinging view of the political move by President Yoon Seok-yeol is to emphasize that the deterrence of the proposal for the Heavy Water Administration is an urgent task.
