It was alleged that the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office decided to re-investigate the suspicion of returning to military leave, the son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae.
According to the data submitted by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice said, “The Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office (Chief Prosecutor Park Cheol-woong) is currently investigating an appeal for the return of the son of Minister Chu.” He said, “It is difficult to respond to the specific name of the prosecutor in charge, whether or not to review the investigation data, and the expected timing of the decision to initiate a re-investigation, etc.,” he said.
Rep. Kim Do-eup to the Ministry of Justice 1. The Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office and the name of the prosecutor in charge of the case of the return of his son’s vacation to Minister Chu Mi-ae, who appealed from the power of the people on October 27. In this way, a written answer to the urgent inquiry regarding the expected timing of the decision to initiate a re-investigation of
In this regard, Congressman Kim argued, “When I asked the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office,’When will the reinvestigation start?’, I got an answer saying’I’m doing it now.’ Rep. Kim interpreted this to mean that the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office is directly re-investigating without ordering a re-investigation (re-investigation) to the Dongbu District Prosecutors’ Office, which unproclaimed all involved in the case.
Regarding this, the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office said, “It is different from the fact that the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office made a decision to re-investigate it,” and said, “The case is still being reviewed in accordance with the usual appeal case.” An official at the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office said, “I have not had any contact with the Criminal Department or the prosecutor in charge of the case with Rep. Kim Do-eup.”
The Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office believes that the response from the Ministry of Justice as’under investigation’ in a common expression including review of records, was misunderstood as “I decided to re-investigate directly”. If an appeal is filed with the prosecutor’s office in dissatisfaction with the prosecution’s disposition, the high prosecutor may dismiss the appeal, issue an order to re-investigate the original prosecutor’s office (East District Prosecutors’ Office), or investigate directly. It means that neither has been made yet.
Earlier, on September 28, last year, Dongbu District Prosecutor’s Office (Prosecutor Kim Kwan-jeong) judged all charges of leaving the military affairs and violating the Unfair Solicitation Act on September 28 of last year as Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, son Seo-mo (27), and assistant Choi Mo-san, and made a non-prosecution decision.
His son Seo, who served as a KATUSA Soldier of the 2nd Division of the USFK 2nd Division, did not return after extending his 1st and 2nd sick leave and personal leave for a total of 23 days. About the suspicion that I did it.
The core suspicions surrounding Mr. Seo are largely divided into two categories: whether’non-return on vacation’ corresponds to leaving the military service, and whether Minister Chu requested illegally from the military to extend the vacation.
Regarding the’departure from military affairs’, the prosecution decided that Seo had no purpose to evade military affairs because all of Seo’s vacation extensions were carried out with the approval of the commander. Regarding the suspicion of the request of Minister Chu, Minister Chu and her husband concluded that they did not directly file a complaint with the military, and that the aide, Choi, did not make a request. In January of the same year, it was a conclusion reached 269 days after the Public Power’s accusation.
However, the result of such an investigation was immediately criticized for being’an explicit loyalty investigation’. At the time, the prosecutors’ prosecutors conducted procrastination investigations, such as calling informants and military personnel as references and investigating them only after various suspicions were raised one after another. The Dongbu District Prosecutor’s Office was suspicious of the fairness of the investigation by dismissing the statement that Captain Kim Mo, a support officer, a key official, “did not allow the extension of the vacation for Minister Chu’s son.”
