Jang Je-won: "Legal and Prosecutorial Reform Committee Reduces Prosecutor General to a Puppet"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the Future United Party, raised his voice in criticism, saying, "The Legal and Prosecutorial Reform Committee is blatantly attempting to reduce the Prosecutor General to a mere figurehead with an honorary position."

On the 28th, Jang questioned on Facebook, "What is the difference between a Prosecutor General without personnel authority and investigative command and the Director of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Secretariat?"

He pointed out, "The Legal and Prosecutorial Reform Committee is trying to transfer the Prosecutor General's investigative command to the High Prosecutors and improve the procedure for hearing the Prosecutor General's opinions on personnel matters, effectively stripping the Prosecutor General of investigative command and personnel authority," adding, "There are even calls to abolish the Supreme Prosecutors' Office."

Jang described it as "a full-scale offensive by the powers that be to strangle Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol," and said, "Under the very beautiful slogans of 'prosecutorial reform' and 'democratic control of the prosecution,' they are trying to seize control of the prosecution or even dismantle the prosecution they dislike altogether," calling it "all hypocrisy, masks, and arrogance."

He said, "This is truly a terrible regime," and added, "The place that truly needs democratic control is not the prosecution, but the Moon Jae-in administration and the Democratic Party, who are intoxicated with excessive power and wielding the sword of madness."
