With all the legislative process completed, the bill that the Democratic Party has been pushing for will now come into effect in four months.

Because we can all become victims of crime and suffer unfair things, changing laws can have a huge impact on people's lives.



Reporter Kwan-Jin Kim will explain the changes in detail.

The number of crimes that prosecutors can directly investigate will be reduced to two categories, corruption and economy, from the previous six.



Election crimes will be handled by the police from next year in consideration of the local elections in June, and the remaining crimes will be handled by the police from September 4th.



The Democratic Party's plan is to transfer the authority to investigate the two crimes to the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency later, so depending on the situation in the National Assembly, the prosecutor's authority to initiate a direct investigation may be further reduced.



Let's take a look at the impact on people's real life.



If you feel that the victim, the perpetrator who feels unfair, or the police investigation is insufficient, you would want the prosecution to investigate once more.



A case that comes to the prosecutor's office after the police have cleared the charges can only be investigated within the scope of the crime that the police have seen, that is, to the extent that it does not harm the identity.



There are many cases of 'accusations' made by third parties, groups, and institutions rather than 'accusations' made directly by the party, but the 'accuser' cannot file an objection.



It seems that the prosecution will continue to take charge of the Daejang-dong case and the blacklist case of the Ministry of Industry, which the prosecution is currently investigating, even after September.



This is because there was an annex in the draft amendment that the prosecution referred cases under investigation to the police, but it was omitted from the promulgated law.



Prosecutors who initiated an investigation cannot directly prosecute, so they must go through a separate prosecution and prosecution within the Prosecutor's Office before being brought to trial.



Even if the investigative prosecutor cannot prosecute, he or she can participate in the trial.
