[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 16th, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol receiving a two-month suspension from the Ministry of Justice's Prosecutor Disciplinary Committee, saying, "President Moon Jae-in has become an undisputed dictator," and added, "Soon, he will surely pay the price for selling out the Constitution and the rule of law entirely to dictatorship."

On the same day, Jang said on Facebook, "They want to oust him, but are anxious about being overturned in court; they want a justification to guarantee the Prosecutor General's term; they fear being criticized for having a lifelong disciplinary label; they want to obstruct the investigation of the Wolseong Unit 1 incident; and while scheming to meet the launch schedule of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), they came to a petty and shabby conclusion of a two-month suspension."

Jang pointed out, "Cutting off the lifeline of the Prosecutor General, the head of a quasi-judicial institution, without securing the legitimacy of the disciplinary procedure, the rationality of the disciplinary reasons, or the neutrality and fairness of the disciplinary committee members, is an abuse of governing power."

Jang stated, "Once the CIO is launched, it will frame prosecutors who investigated living powers, including Prosecutor General Yoon, with all sorts of petty corruption charges to eliminate them."
