Justice Party: "Ruling and opposition parties must agree on special prosecutor by this week... Park Beom-gye also possible to activate 'permanent special prosecutor'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 10th, the Justice Party urged the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party to "agree to a special prosecutor by the end of this week" regarding the death of Yuhan-gi, former head of the Development Business Headquarters at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.

Jang Hye-young, chief spokesperson of the Justice Party's election committee, said in a written briefing on the same day, "Since the key figure to clarify the suspicions related to the Daejang-dong development project preferential treatment has died, causing setbacks in the prosecution's investigation, now the only answer is a special prosecutor."

Chief spokesperson Jang emphasized, "If the two major parties do not agree to a special prosecutor by the end of this week, the truth must be revealed through a standing special prosecutor. The standing special prosecutor can also be activated by the judgment of the Minister of Justice. Therefore, if the two parties fail to reach an agreement, Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye must immediately decide on a standing special prosecutor."

She added that the Justice Party plans to officially request this from the Ministry of Justice.

Chief spokesperson Jang said, "Although the truth of the case must be revealed through a special prosecutor before the presidential candidate registration application on February 13 next year, the two entrenched parties are stalling over the special prosecutor, leaving little time to uncover the truth. Once again, we demand that the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party immediately agree to a special prosecutor."
