Candidate Dong-Hoon Han is considered to be the closest aide who has worked closely with President-elect Yoon Seok-Yeol for nearly 20 years.

He was then demoted after leading the investigation into the family of former Minister Cho Kuk, and until recently under investigation.

Candidate Dong-Hoon Han said at his first press conference today (13th) that he would definitely block the Democratic Party's abolition of the prosecution's investigative authority.

Candidate Dong-Hoon Han received a so-called 'car-taking' statement that he delivered the presidential election funds in a car during the SK account fraud investigation in 2003, when he was a prosecutor for the third year, and the Supreme Prosecutor's Office was investigating the case of illegal presidential election funds. I did. 



Afterwards, he and President-elect Yoon participated in a major investigation, such as the Hyundai Motor corruption case and the sale of KEB Lone Star. 



During the Park Geun-hye administration's National Nongdan Special Prosecutor's Office, where Yoon-elect Yoon was the head of the investigation team, he worked as the chief prosecutor investigating the bribery allegations of Samsung Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong. 



He served as the 3rd deputy chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the anti-corruption strong department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, serving as an assistant to President-elect Yoon. 




However, during the investigation into the family of the former minister of Cho Kuk, he went out of the government's eyes and was relegated repeatedly. 



I was involved in the so-called 'Channel A case' and had been a suspect for over two years, and only recently was acquitted. 



A candidate who became a minister from the prosecution for the first time in five and a half years following former Minister Kim Hyun-woong during the Park Geun-hye administration expressed his objection to the Democratic Party's push for a complete inspection. 



[Han Dong-hoon / Candidate for Justice Minister: Because if this bill is passed, the people will suffer greatly.

Considering that, I think that attempts to deal with such a bill must be stopped.] 



Another candidate also said that he realized how badly harmless the people were to the abuse of investigative authority during his previous days as minister. He said there would be no exercise.
