Half of the Public Corruption Investigation Office Prosecutors Undergo One Month of Practical Training at the Legal Research and Training Institute

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Six prosecutors belonging to the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Department (Gong-su-cheo) will receive practical investigation training at the Legal Research and Training Institute's Yongin branch for four weeks starting from the 31st. Gong-su-cheo is currently conducting investigations on cases 1 to 3, and there is a prospect that the pace will be adjusted for the time being.

The training will be conducted for a total of 120 hours until the 25th of next month. With an average of 6 hours of training per day, the program is organized mainly around practical special investigation skills such as understanding special investigations, investigation techniques, and prosecution maintenance. Considering that the training takes place from morning to afternoon on weekdays, it will be difficult for the prosecutors participating in the training to be deployed for investigations during the four weeks.

Gong-su-cheo has not disclosed the list of prosecutors participating in the training, but there are four regular prosecutors in the Investigation Division 2 of Gong-su-cheo, who are investigating the 'Case 1' special recruitment allegations involving Cho Hee-yeon, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Superintendent. The Investigation Division 3, composed of three regular prosecutors, also summoned Prosecutor Lee Gyu-won on the 25th and 27th as a suspect for questioning regarding the 'Yoon Joong-chun interview report distortion and leak allegations.'

However, Gong-su-cheo believes that the outsourced training will not cause significant disruption to the investigations. Gong-su-cheo explained that they selected the participants and coordinated the training schedule to ensure that ongoing investigations are not affected.
