[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae criticized on the 23rd, "The political prosecutors who fabricated evidence and leaked it to the media to disgrace the late President Roh Moo-hyun are now hesitating to investigate Kim Gun-hee, the wife of Yoon Seok-yeol, who has become a leading presidential candidate, and are protecting her."


Former Minister Choo said, "The prosecution covered up the investigation after sharing a bowl of oxtail soup during the BBK special prosecutor's investigation, and at that time, Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol was part of the special prosecutor team." She added, "The prosecution has evolved into political prosecutors parasitizing on a powerful next political force. Even if that day comes slowly, I will fulfill the mission of prosecutorial reform."


On the day marking the 12th anniversary of the late President Roh Moo-hyun's passing, Former Minister Choo shared a passage from President Roh's autobiography "It Is Destiny" on Facebook, stating, "If the prosecution itself is politically biased, even if political independence is guaranteed, it will not maintain political neutrality."



Former Minister Choo said, "The prosecution, which was granted political independence by the democratic government, has destroyed its own political neutrality and become political prosecutors." She also said, "The cover-up of investigations by the prosecution kingdom, as it was then, continues even now and resembles the purpose of interfering in the presidential election."
