Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk shared a statement saying, ‘Coincidentally, on the day the school violence incident involving the President’s protocol secretary’s child broke out, the police announced the start of an investigation into Lee Sun-gyun.’ Former Minister Cho also criticized the remarks of a broadcaster, saying, “The intention is to defend the prosecution’s monopoly on investigative authority by using the Lee Sun-kyun tragedy as a catalyst.”
Former Minister Cho said on Facebook on the 1st, “I learned that a pro-prosecution broadcaster made an absurd statement, saying, ‘The reason the Lee Sun-kyun incident occurred is because the police were given the right to investigate.'”
He said, “It can be ignored as it is a statement from someone who defended Mrs. Kim Kun-hee’s receipt of the Dior bag by saying, ‘I did not ask for it, but received it forcibly,’ but the media is using this statement to attack Representative Lee Jae-myung and me without analyzing the validity of this statement. “I reveal it,” he wrote.
He also said, “Public disclosure of suspect facts and shaming investigations are problems for both the prosecution and police,” and “The purpose and content of the ‘Regulations on Prohibition of Disclosure of Criminal Cases,’ which I confirmed when I was minister and implemented after my resignation, were ignored by both the prosecution and police after the inauguration of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.” “The media is reporting Mr. Lee’s tragedy, but no one is talking about reinstating this regulation,” he pointed out.
He added, “I hope that the Democratic Party will make efforts to legislate the core of this Ministry of Justice training by revising and improving Article 126 of the Criminal Act.”
