Former Environment Minister Kim Eun-gyeong and Shin Mi-sook, former Blue House secretary, were convicted at the first trial, accused of the so-called’blacklist of the Ministry of Environment’.

In particular, former Minister Kim was sentenced to imprisonment and imprisoned in court, which is the first case as a member of the Moon Jae-in government.

The so-called’Ministry of Environment blacklist’ controversy began in earnest with the exposure of former Blue House Special Inspectorate Kim Tae-woo.

It was suspicious that the Moon Jae-in administration, the Blue House, and the Ministry of Environment, had written a document that contained the resignation trend of executives under the Ministry of Environment appointed during the former government.

In the following prosecution investigation, the Ministry of Environment forced 15 executives under the agency to resign to resign 13, and in the process, a target audit was conducted.

Former Environment Minister Kim Eun-gyeong and Shin Mi-sook, former Blue House Balance Personnel Secretary, were handed over to trial on charges of taking the lead.

[김은경 / 前 환경부 장관 : (표적감사 의혹 계속 제기되는데 전혀 지시하시거나 이런 사항 없으세요?) …. (청와대에서 아무런 연락 못 받으신 겁니까?) …. (앞서 본인은 인사권이 없다고 하셨잖아요.) …. (지금 채용비리 의혹까지 나오고 있잖아요. 전직 장관으로서 이 정도에서 어느 정도 입장 표명을 해주셔야죠.) ….]

At a sentence of over one year and nine months, the court convicted a large part of the charges against the two.

First of all, former Minister Kim ruled that it was admitted that if they refused, they forced the executives appointed during the Park Geun-hye administration to resign in order to seat the nominees recommended by the Blue House as executives.

In addition, when the nominee was eliminated from the document screening, he urged seven other successful candidates to be disqualified, compromising the fairness and objectivity of hiring executives, and accusing the public of distrust.

Nevertheless, former Minister Kim continued to deny the charges, sentenced him to two years and six months in prison, and was immediately detained in court.

The court judged it as guilty, saying that former secretary Shin, who was also prosecuted, also played a role in coercing his resignation.

However, rather than leading the case, he was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months imprisonment and 3 years probation, saying that it was judged to be the level of carrying out the personnel policy of the Blue House and the Ministry of Environment.

[신미숙 / 前 청와대 균형인사비서관 : (환경부 블랙리스트 인사 관련해서 일정 부분 유죄가 인정된 건데, 한 말씀 부탁드립니다.) …….]

Former Minister Kim, who was arrested in court, protested and announced that it would appeal immediately.

[장순욱 / 김은경 변호인 : 예상 못 했던 판결이고요. 사실관계나 법리 적용 관련해서 아쉬움이 많이 남습니다. 항소심 잘 대응하도록 하겠습니다.]

This is the first case in which a minister appointed by the Moon Jae-in government was sentenced to jail and arrested in court.

In the current administration, which was launched by declaring separation from various blacklist suspicions that arose during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations, the stain that a similar controversy has been reproduced remains.
