Prosecutor General Oh-su Kim said he would find all countermeasures according to the steps.
In the morning, he went to see the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Park Gwang-on, who was about to hold a general meeting of the National Assembly Judiciary Committee.
President Kim said that the abolition of the prosecution's investigative function is to eliminate the prosecution, and he said he would like to avoid the mistake of 'abolishing the bridge', which kills cattle while trying to straighten the horns.
He said he would follow any remedial action if there was any problem with the prosecution's investigation.
[Kim Oh-soo / Prosecutor General: If there is a problem with fairness or neutrality, it is good to make a special law that corrects only that part.
It is okay to create a special body in the National Assembly like the Special Committee on Judicial Reform.]
President Kim met with Chairman Park and delivered a letter summarizing the prosecution's opinions, and requested an opportunity to attend the Judiciary Committee to be held at a later date.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office, which oversees special investigations across the country, also held a press conference and said that if the Prosecution and Overhaul Bill is promulgated in May and comes into effect three months later, the remaining investigations such as the Daejang-dong case, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy blacklist, and Samsung Welstory case should not be concluded and finished. I was concerned.
Kim Soo-hyeon, head of the Tongyeong Branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office, left a message on the insider network of the prosecution service saying "the only way of resistance" with an expression of resignation.
The National Public Prosecutor's Meeting is the first in one year and five months since the November 2020 meeting held in protest against the exclusion of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.
