Academia and legal figures gathered at a public hearing on a bill to abolish the prosecution's investigation function, criticizing that the political parties, who are interested in it, have agreed on a bill that effectively prohibits investigations on politicians.



[Kim Ye-won / Attorney at the Disabled Persons Rights Law Center: I do not want to call it an arbitration plan.

I would like to call it Yahaban.

Because it's a stupid arbitration plan only for vested interests...

In particular, the handling of cases related to local elections, which is approaching in June, is pointed out as a problem.



The statute of limitations for this June election case is until the end of this year, and even considering the grace period, the prosecution will have to withdraw from the investigation from around September.



The reduction in the power of supplementary investigation also came to the fore.



While allowing complementary investigations on the cases handed over by the police, they gave the proviso that 'within the scope of unity and unity', but the standard was vague.



Even if another fraudulent activity is revealed during the investigation, there is a high possibility that the case will not be investigated and the case will be returned to the police.



Attorney Park Joon-young, who is famous for his retrial, criticized, "Is it reform to delay the procedure unnecessarily?



The Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, which was mentioned as an alternative, is in a situation where there is not even a sketch.



[Yang Hong-seok / Attorney: If we do not discuss alternative methods together, we will just carry a blank.

The order is a bit wrong...

The criminal justice system is overhauled, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism that the deadline for bill processing within this month is also a hasty legislation.
