[Asia Economy Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist Reporter] Regarding the 'Complete Removal of Prosecutors' Investigation Rights (Geomsu Wanbak)' legislation promoted by the Democratic Party, prosecutors who attended the nationwide meeting of ordinary prosecutors held from 7 PM on the 19th to early morning on the 20th stated, "The Constitution recognizes the prosecutor's investigation rights and grants prosecutors the direct authority to request warrants for compulsory investigations. However, the 'Geomsu Wanbak' bill arbitrarily interprets the Constitution, stripping prosecutors of both investigation rights and direct warrant request authority, while even recognizing the police's direct warrant request rights, which has a high potential to violate the Constitution."
