[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Kyung-jun] Professor Seo Min of Dankook University College of Medicine, co-author of the ‘Black Book on Cho Kuk,’ criticized the Democratic Party of Korea’s push for the ‘complete prosecution investigation separation bill’ as "an act that shakes the foundation of the country."

On the 28th, Professor Seo spoke as a speaker at the ‘Lawyer-Citizen Filibuster for Prosecutorial Reform Legislation for the People’ held at the Korean Bar Association (KBA) Hall in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Professor Seo said, "The special investigation division, which was small at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, grew enormously under the pretext of investigating deep-rooted evils," adding, "This was all nurtured by the current administration under the claim of investigating the Park Geun-hye government, and the people who led that special investigation division were President-elect Yoon Seok-youl and Prosecutor General Han Dong-hoon."

He continued, "One could only doubt whether the Moon Jae-in administration truly had the will for prosecutorial reform, but that will was revived in August 2019 following the ‘Cho Kuk incident,’" and argued, "In fact, it was impossible for the police to investigate this case; crimes like private equity funds are too complex, and it would not have been easy to uncover the forgery of certificates of commendation."

Addressing President Moon Jae-in, Professor Seo said, "An event shaking the foundation of our country is happening, yet you are pretending not to know," and sharply criticized, "Isn’t your dream to comfortably enjoy your retirement in Yangsan after the passage of the complete prosecution investigation separation bill, which you actually want?"

Other co-authors of the ‘Black Book on Cho Kuk,’ including accountant Kim Kyung-yul from the People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and lawyer Kwon Kyung-ae from the Lawyers for a Democratic Society (Minbyun), are also scheduled to speak at this filibuster, which the KBA is hosting until the 6th of next month.
