The Supreme Court’s Court Administration Department expressed concern over the National Assembly’s arbitration plan related to the ‘completely deprived of the prosecution’s investigation authority’, which stipulates that the prosecution’s investigation and prosecution should be separated, saying, “There may be an invalid situation in the trial.”
According to the legal community and the National Assembly on the 26th, Deputy Director of the Court Administration Department Kim Hyung-doo attended the first subcommittee of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly on the 25th and said, “If the prosecutor involved in the investigation helped in the prosecution or trial, the accused cannot claim that the case itself is invalid. there,” he said.
According to the arbitration plan agreed by the ruling and opposition parties, “the direct investigation and prosecution powers of the prosecution will be separated. The prosecutor’s right to direct investigation is temporary, and in the case of a direct investigation, the investigation and prosecution are separated.” Deputy Director Kim expressed concern regarding this.
On the 19th, Deputy Director Kim remarked, “There are many professors who argue that it is unconstitutional, so it is strong because there are many theories.”
The day before, it was found that the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office also expressed an opinion that “the statute of limitations for election crimes limited to six months should be abolished.”
Korea’s statute of limitations for election crimes is the shortest in the world, and the purpose of this is to deprive the prosecution of its investigative powers to provide double preferential treatment for elected offices.
After the ruling and opposition parties reached an agreement on the arbitration plan earlier, there was an appeal within the prosecution that if the election-related investigation rights were deprived ahead of the local elections in June, there would be great chaos.
Election prosecutors said, “If the prosecutor’s authority to directly investigate election crimes is abolished according to the agreement, and if only a single and same scope of investigation is possible with the crimes forwarded, the thousands of cases expected to occur in the June local elections will be poorly handled. ‘” was posted on the Prosecutor’s Office’s internal network, Ypros.
