<Reporter> On the



afternoon of the 4th, the Ministry of Justice conducted promotions and transfers of 41 prosecutors above the chief prosecutor level.



[Park Chul-woo/Ministry of Justice Spokesperson: Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye tried to reflect the new prosecutor general's opinions as much as possible by collecting them as much as possible.] The



focus was on Kim Hak-eui, former vice minister's illegal departure ban investigation team, Lee Seong-yoon, who was accused of exerting external pressure in Seoul. It was the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office.



Prosecutors themselves judged that the crime was acknowledged and handed it over to trial, and the Ministry of Justice promoted the chief of the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office to the chief of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office, who has continued to receive controversy over neutrality due to the pro-government label.



Criticism is coming from both inside and outside the prosecution for the promotion of this prosecutor, who has been criticized for excluding his duties.



The post of Seoul Central Prosecutor's Office, which was vacated by Prosecutor Lee Jung-soo, was appointed as Chief Prosecutor General of the Ministry of Justice, Lee Jung-soo, who had been a close assistant to Minister Park Beom-gye.



Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, who was excluded from the investigation for a long period of time on the line of investigation into the alleged attempted coercion of Channel A, was transferred to the position of vice president of the Judicial Research and Training Institute.



Despite the request of Director-General Kim Oh-soo, the return of a prosecutor to the front line has been canceled.



Prosecutor Han stated that he would bear the retaliation of power as part of the prosecutor's job, so he would take it with confidence.
