10 billion won fraud defendant Kim's all-round lobbying activities surfaced on the 23rd of last month when the police raided the office of the incumbent prosecutor's office.



The police conducted an investigation into the allegation that chief prosecutor Lee received a watch and cash from Mr. Kim, and the Ministry of Justice, knowing this, downgraded the prosecutor to the local office.



Special prosecutor Park Young-soo, who introduced the two, also resigned yesterday (the 7th) due to suspicions of being provided with a foreign car.



Once again, when the sponsoring culture in the prosecution came to the fore, Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye said that he had ordered a fact-finding investigation into this case.



Minister Park emphasized, "It's amazing that something like this has happened again, and the shock is indescribable."



The reason Minister Park raised his voice and ordered a large-scale inspection is because allegations of misconduct by prosecutors have recently been raised one after another.



Last year, prosecutors received drinks from Mr. Kim Bong-hyeon, who is the heart of the Lime Asset Management case, and there were also suspicions that a businessman, who is considered another culprit in the Lime case, had a meeting with former and current prosecutors in a room salon before leaving for overseas.



Prosecutor Im Eun-jung, newly appointed to the Office of the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice, who received instructions from Minister Park, is expected to lead the investigation.



At the same time, there is also an analysis that Minister Park is trying to catch the flag as it is the first direct instruction from Minister Park after the largest-scale transfer of prosecutors last week.
