Ministry of Justice Denies Draft Personnel Transfer of Prosecutor Executives... Imminent Personnel Changes for Prosecutor General Level, Focus on Yoon Seok-yeol's Close Aides' Reassignments

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House has denied reports that it received a draft of the prosecution personnel from Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae.

Goh Min-jung, spokesperson for the Blue House, told reporters on the 4th, "The Blue House has never received a draft related to personnel matters from the Minister of Justice."

Earlier, media reports emerged that Minister Chu had delivered a personnel draft including key officials from the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution to the Blue House just one day after her official inauguration, drawing public attention.

Speculation arose that major prosecution personnel changes at the level of chief prosecutors were imminent, increasing interest in the scope and targets of the personnel reshuffle. There was particular focus on whether prosecution officials who had clashed with the Blue House, including close aides of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, would be replaced.

However, with the Blue House denying the report of Minister Chu’s delivery, there are now expectations that the prosecution personnel reshuffle may be somewhat delayed.
