[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] The Human Rights Policy Office of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office announced on the 8th that, as a result of investigating a complaint related to the investigation by the Inspection Division 3 of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, "there were reasons to suspect fairness and legitimacy in the investigation initiation process, such as the head of the Inspection Department obtaining the 'court analysis document' through an unknown route, delivering it to the Ministry of Justice, and then receiving it back as investigation reference material."



Additionally, it stated, "Deputy Prosecutor General Cho Nam-gwan directed that the related document and the cases under investigation by Inspection Division 3 be jointly assigned to the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office for investigation." It explained that Deputy Prosecutor General Cho's investigation command was a measure taken because Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has refrained from all commands regarding the case due to a conflict of interest.
