PCC Personnel Committee Selects Prosecutor Recruitment Candidates

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency held a personnel committee meeting on the 12th to review and decide on the recommended candidates for hiring two chief prosecutors and one ordinary prosecutor.

On the 9th, the agency conducted interviews for three chief prosecutor applicants and three ordinary prosecutor applicants who had passed the document screening. It is known that among the chief prosecutor candidates, there were some with a background in the prosecution service.

The committee members reviewed the interview results of the candidates and, after discussion, selected recommended candidates within twice the number of the planned appointments (3), but did not disclose the exact number.

After the agency submits the recommended prosecutor candidates to the Ministry of Personnel Management, the President makes the final appointment. In previous prosecutor recruitments, about a month was required from the personnel committee's recommendation to the appointment.

If all three prosecutors are recruited, the agency will have 24 prosecutors in total, including 4 chief prosecutors and 20 ordinary prosecutors, which is one less than the authorized number.
