[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook’s investigation process revealed inappropriate practices according to the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office inspection results. Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized this as "the regime’s attempt to protect its own members ending in a crushing defeat."

On the 16th, Jin posted on his Facebook, saying, "No matter what they do, they always protect their own members; this is their nature," and criticized, "The activist family has become the privileged class in this society."

He continued, "The prosecution has never protected their own members," and rather claimed that during the Moon Jae-in administration, they engaged in "protecting Cho Kuk, Han Myeong-sook, Park Won-soon, and Yoon Mee-hyang," stating, "Even if they abused their authority, accepted bribes, or attacked comfort women grandmothers, as long as they were their own, they protected them."

He pointed out to former Prime Minister Han, "If you feel so wronged, apply for a retrial now as former Prosecutor General Yoon suggested," and added, "Or rather, claim that your younger sibling happened to pick up a check on the street that coincidentally belonged to Han Man-ho." This seems to refer to the 100 million won check used by Han’s younger sibling, which was a decisive piece of evidence in Han’s guilty verdict.

He also said, "After failing to achieve their intended purpose, they are now trying to divert this stale bait to attack former Prosecutor General Yoon," and "That is why Cho Nam-gwan, head of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, spoke up."

Earlier, on the 14th, Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye held a briefing at the Ministry of Justice in the Government Complex Gwacheon, announcing that the inspection results regarding the allegation of witness tampering against former Prime Minister Han confirmed "procedural flaws during the investigation," and announced plans to improve investigative practices and organizational culture.
