[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Regarding the inspection of a current prosecutor suspected of receiving money from Kim Mo (43, currently incarcerated), a 'fake seafood businessman' who exposed giving money to prosecutors, police, and journalists, Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye emphasized, "This is not about punishing anyone but about diagnosing the organization."

On the morning of the 8th, Minister Park, while arriving at the Ministry of Justice Government Gwacheon Building, told reporters, "Isn't this outrageous?" and stated, "We need to look into whether the sponsor culture still hasn't disappeared."

Earlier, Minister Park instructed Inspection Officer Ryu Hyuk and Inspection Officer Im Eun-jeong to verify the circumstances under which a current prosecutor, referred to as A, received money.

On the same day, Minister Park also mentioned the possibility of uncovering the truth behind allegations that a key figure in the 'Lime Fund fraud' case met with former and current prosecutors, including a prosecutor from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Violent Crimes Division, at a room salon.

Meanwhile, regarding the announcement of the joint inspection results on 'prosecutorial investigation practices' being conducted by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, Minister Park said, "We have devoted nearly three months to this, so I will calmly present the results, seek institutional improvements, and try to improve what can be done immediately."
