<Anchor> The



high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office has decided to return the former Vice Minister Kim Hak's case from the prosecution to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.

Most of all, the fact that the current air defense agency is not in a condition for investigation was a big part of it.

Suwon district prosecutor, who was investigating the suspicion of a ban on illegal departure from former Vice Minister Kim Hak-eui, transferred the cases of prosecutors Lee Gyu-won and Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Lee Seong-yoon, the suspects, to the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office on the 3rd.



It was a measure in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law that the public authorities should conduct investigations against high-ranking public officials such as prosecutors.



The Ministry of Public Transport, which took over the case, has made a final decision to send it back to the prosecution after struggling with direct investigation, police transfer, and re-transfer to the prosecution investigation team, officially announced today (12th).



It was first considered a plan to investigate this case as the first case by the Ministry of Public Affairs, but it was determined that it was not a condition for investigation because it took about 4 weeks for the appointment to be established because the prosecutor and other personnel are still in progress.



[Kim Jin-wook/Director of Airlift: Until the establishment of the investigation office until the appointment of the prosecutor of the airlift, the current investigation team made a decision that it would be right to keep the investigation by the prosecution investigation team without any gaps in the investigation.] In



a situation where the organization was not organized, the investigation was made. If it is undertaken, it is interpreted as an action that concerns the criticism.



Airborne Minister Kim Jin-wook explained that the next best option was to consider dispatching investigative personnel from the prosecution, but this did not fit the purpose of the Airlift Law.



In addition, he said that he did not do so, considering the circumstances of the police investigation, which is focusing on the LH case, as well as the practice of handling cases under the relationship with the prosecution.
