[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] For the first time since the adjustment of investigative authority following the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act, prosecutors and police will gather in Daejeon to exchange opinions on investigative practices.

According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office will hold the "1st Joint Prosecutor-Police Investigative Practice Seminar" at the prosecutor's office building this afternoon. This is the first time prosecutors and police have held a seminar together.

The event will be attended by over 100 people, including No Jeong-hwan, Chief Prosecutor of Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office, Yoon So-sik, Chief of Daejeon Police Agency, prosecutors, and police officers, who will share opinions on strict responses to telephone financial fraud (voice phishing) crimes that undermine the lives of ordinary citizens.

They plan to discuss efficient investigative methods for crimes such as voice phishing, liability and proof methods for cash collectors, current legal limitations and suggestions for punishing voice phishing, and the recovery of criminal proceeds.

Recently, voice phishing crimes have been carried out in a division-of-labor manner under the command of large-scale organizations, making investigation and prosecution maintenance very difficult. Since the initial investigation results determine the success or failure of trials, organic cooperation between prosecutors and police is essential.

Accordingly, prosecutors and police have pledged to cooperate to eradicate voice phishing crimes by continuously developing and sharing investigative techniques and legal theories.

A prosecutor official stated, "In the future, we will hold joint seminars quarterly on crimes that directly affect the lives of the public, presenting exemplary and efficient cooperation models between prosecutors and police," adding, "We will take the lead in establishing a desirable investigative culture."

The seminar for the second quarter of this year is scheduled to be held at the Daejeon Police Agency.
