Ministry of Justice Investigates Prosecutor General Han Dong-hoon's Work Practices

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The Ministry of Justice is reportedly investigating the work status of Prosecutor Han Donghoon, who was recently transferred to the Jincheon main office of the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

According to legal circles on the 16th, the Ministry of Justice's Inspection Office has recently been verifying with people around Prosecutor Han whether he properly commuted when he was at the Yongin branch of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, and whether he conducted research work after arriving at work.

Earlier, Prosecutor Han was transferred from Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Busan High Prosecutors' Office to a research fellow at the Judicial Research and Training Institute in June, following the so-called 'media-prosecution collusion' suspicion case. Prosecutor Han then reported to work at the Yongin branch of the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

Subsequently, Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae ordered three research fellows, including Prosecutor Han, to work at the Jincheon main office, aiming to correct the practice where research fellows, originally affiliated with the Jincheon main office, had been working in Yongin due to commuting issues.

The verification of Prosecutor Han's work status is known to have been conducted following Minister Chu's directive.
