[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Professor Kim Geunsik of Gyeongnam National University, chairman of the People Power Party's Songpa-byeong district committee in Seoul, said on the 16th that the Ministry of Justice's Prosecutor Disciplinary Committee's decision to suspend Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol for two months means "the Moon Jae-in administration can achieve the original purpose it wanted."

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, Professor Kim said, "They can swiftly launch the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HOCI) and transfer the Ulsan case and the Wolseong case to the HOCI."

He pointed out, "A two-month suspension is a cunning trick that cleverly secures benefits while trembling under strong public opinion," adding, "It can relieve President Moon's political burden as it avoids criticism for having dismissed the prosecutor general he appointed and also allows the promised term guarantee."

He continued, "The Moon administration may have an advantage in the provisional injunction request to suspend the disciplinary action or the lawsuit to cancel the disciplinary action filed by Prosecutor General Yoon," explaining, "Because the court may find it ambiguous to judge the two-month suspension as 'irreparable damage,' and he can return to work during the main lawsuit proceedings."

Professor Kim also analyzed, "Since the top priority was to block investigations into the administration and protect it, the two-month suspension was chosen as the trickiest trick that moderately avoids public anger and dilutes court rulings while achieving the administration's desired goal."

He added, "Imagining the disciplinary committee members staying up all night searching for tricks is quite a spectacle," and raised his voice, "There is someone else controlling them. The Moon administration, which ultimately suppressed investigations into the living power under the pretext of prosecutorial reform. The Moon administration, which shackled the prosecution with the monster called HOCI and armored the power's corruption."

Finally, Professor Kim fiercely criticized the Moon administration, calling it "the destroyer of democracy and the disaster of history who manipulated the five traitors of the disciplinary committee."

Earlier, the disciplinary committee held discussions for about 17 hours from around 10:30 a.m. on the 15th to 4 a.m. on the 16th and imposed a severe punishment of a two-month suspension on Prosecutor General Yoon.

The charges recognized by the disciplinary committee were ▲ drafting and distributing documents related to the suspicion of surveilling the judiciary ▲ obstructing inspection related to the Channel A case ▲ obstructing investigation related to the Channel A case ▲ damaging political neutrality. Prosecutor General Yoon's side is known to oppose the disciplinary decision and plans to file lawsuits to cancel the disciplinary action in court.
