Investigations of various suspicions raised in the process of banning Kim Hak's former Vice Minister of Justice from leaving the country are being conducted at the same time at the prosecutors' office and the airlift. As a result, there is constant noise, such as duplication of investigations on the same contents and conflicting authority of the two institutions.
Reporter Son Hyung-an on the report.
<Reporter> In
March last year, when former Vice Minister Kim Hak-eui attempted to leave the country late at night, Prosecutor Gyu-won Lee, a member of the Prosecutor's Past Photographic Investigation Group, blocked the country from leaving the country.
Afterwards, the Anyang Office investigated that there was an illegal withdrawal process, but it did not expand into a big problem.
Two years later, the investigation of this case was resumed because of a report from a public interest reporter.
First, the prosecution and the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office came out.
Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won was handed over to trial for the use of fake withdrawal documents, and Lee Gwang-cheol, the Blue House Civil Service Secretary, is being investigated for suspicion of coordinating the process.
The two are also being investigated by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
During the prosecution's activities as a past photographic investigation team, there is a suspicion that the contents of the report that are different from the facts were leaked to the outside.
It is the same, only the charges for application are different.
I went back to the Suwon District Prosecutor's Office and investigated the suspicion that there was external pressure in the investigation team of Anyang District Office at the time, but Lee Seong-yoon, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, was handed over to trial.
In the prosecutor's office of the District Prosecutor's Office, other persons who were involved in external pressure were also mentioned.
Suwon District Prosecutors' Office turned the case of the incumbent prosecutors over to the airlift.
In a situation where the investigation of the two current government ministers of justice is inevitable, the card the airlift can choose is whether it is directly investigated or returned to the prosecution.
If they are returned to the prosecution, they will face fierce criticism for avoiding sensitive cases.
Because of this burden, a conflict with the prosecution is inevitable even if the investigation proceeds directly.
Under the Airborne Law, investigations of the two people, Park Sang-hee, and Korea, are possible, but there is no clear regulation as to whether they have the authority to hand them over to trial.
On the contrary, even if the charges are not proven, even if they attempt to prosecute them, they cannot decide on the will of the airlift.
It means that the case must be turned over to the prosecution.
Conflict with the prosecution is inevitable, no matter what conclusions the airlifting agency begins to investigate, but there is a need for legislative supplementation to the current airborne law that causes such confusion.
