Lee Jae-myung: "Yoon Seok-yeol's Involvement in Former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook Investigation Revealed... Public Corruption Investigation Office Must Take Action"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, pressured former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol to answer public suspicions, stating that the prosecution’s true colors, more despicable than a movie, were fully revealed during the investigation of former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook, and as the main actor and culprit at the time, Yoon must respond.

On the 15th, Lee posted on Facebook an article titled "Now Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol Must Answer," saying, "The Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office announced the results of a joint inspection into the investigation process of former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook," and added, "The results show over 100 rehearsed testimonies, unfair deals between the prosecution and prisoners using power, and the undermining of the defendant’s right to defense, revealing unfairness everywhere."

He continued, "The prosecution’s true colors, more meticulous and despicable than a movie, were clearly exposed," and criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "Yoon also appears in this case and was the culprit who damaged procedural justice by attempting to reassign the case during the process of handling complaints received by the prosecution."

In particular, he said, "(Yoon was) not a supporting actor but the main actor in this case," and urged, "Now Yoon must answer. Why did he attempt to reassign the case? Was that a fair act? I hope he clearly states his position on the joint inspection results."

He also emphasized, "If Yoon has responsibilities, he must take them," and added, "If necessary, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) should launch an investigation."

Furthermore, he said, "Public suspicion is growing," and added, "The CIO must clearly reveal the truth that the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office have failed to disclose."

Lee further promised the public, "I will strongly suppress unfair prosecutorial power," and said, "I will not let prosecutorial reform stagnate, and when I have the constitutional authority, I will act swiftly like lightning."

He especially emphasized, "With courage and determination that fear no resistance, and strong driving force, I will work to establish fair prosecutorial power."
