While the Democratic Party was pushing for enforcement of a bill that would completely abolish the prosecution's investigative powers, Prosecutor General Oh-su Kim visited the National Assembly and persuaded him not to do so.

Prosecutors from the front-line prosecutor's office also agreed to meet at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office next week to have a meeting on this issue. This is

I visited Prosecutor General Oh-su Kim, who said he would find all countermeasures according to the steps, and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Park Gwang-on, who was scheduled for a plenary meeting of the National Assembly Judiciary Committee from the morning.



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 that if there was a problem with the prosecution's investigation, he would follow any remedial action.



[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 like the Special Committee on Judicial Reform in the National Assembly.]



President Kim met with Chairman Park and delivered a letter summarizing the prosecution's opinions, and asked for an opportunity to attend the Judiciary Committee to be held later.



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.



The National Review and Prosecutors' Meeting, which will gather about 150 representatives of public prosecutors from the front-line prosecutor's office, is also scheduled for the 19th.



The National Review Prosecutors' Conference 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.
