The Supreme Prosecutor's Office has officially opposed the so-called 'completely deprived of the prosecution's investigative power', which is being promoted by the Democratic Party of Korea.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office issued a statement on the afternoon of the 8th, saying, "Many problems have been identified so far one year after the enforcement of the revised Criminal Act, and it is urgent to resolve and settle them now." "I oppose the bill," he said.
He continued, "By preventing prosecutors from checking the facts directly changes the criminal justice process that has been in effect for over 70 years in a single day, which not only causes extreme confusion, but also aggravates inconvenience to the public and worsens the nation's ability to respond to serious crimes. There is no precedent in advanced legislation such as this,” he emphasized.
"The Prosecutor General deeply sympathizes with the public's awareness of the problem and the earnestness of the members of the prosecution, and he is taking the current situation very seriously," he said. And I earnestly ask the politicians to make the right decision."
