[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has proposed the formation of an independent investigation headquarters, including the current Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office investigation team, regarding the investigation directive by Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae related to the 'media collusion' case.

On the afternoon of the 8th, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office stated, "The Prosecutor General respects the directive of the Minister of Justice and, considering opinions both inside and outside the prosecution, has proposed to the Minister of Justice a plan to form an independent investigation headquarters led by the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office, including the current Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office investigation team, to investigate the entire Channel A-related case fairly and strictly. This team would operate without receiving direct orders from the Prosecutor General and would only report the investigation results to the Prosecutor General."
