Han Dong-hoon “If a heavy water agency is installed, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice”… Prediction of clash with Democrats at hearing

The National Assembly personnel hearing on Justice Minister candidate Han Dong-hoon (pictured) will be held on the 9th, one day before the inauguration of the Yun Seok-yeol government. The Democratic Party of Korea is foretelling the verification of the awl as it has placed a candidate on the ‘first priority list’ since the nomination of a candidate for the Minister of Justice on the 13th of last month.

A key issue that is expected to clash between a candidate and the Democratic Party is the issue of prosecutorial reform, represented by the so-called ‘completely deprived of the prosecution’s investigation authority’. One candidate expressed a negative stance on the Democratic Party’s push for legislation in the past, using expressions such as “a night escape without a cause”. In response, the Democratic Party launched an offensive, calling one candidate a ‘doorknob communication order’, ‘Minister of Kings’, and ‘everything’, saying “it is difficult to see him as a candidate.”

The suspicion of a candidate’s daughter’s ‘specialization’ is also a major issue. On the 8th, additional suspicions were raised that a foreign ghostwriter wrote a four-page article related to the ‘National Debt’ that the daughter of a candidate posted on an overseas academic site called ‘SSRN’ (Social Science Network) in February. done.

Regarding this, a candidate’s side explained, “It is not a thesis, but rather a writing at the level of a practice report written with the help of online corrections, etc.”

In response, the Democratic Party has raised the need for a forced investigation, including a home search and seizure, in relation to the suspicion of a candidate’s daughter’s speculation. Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Won-young wrote on her own social networking service (SNS) that her “From writing her daughter’s dissertation to my nembul… “If (the prosecution) doesn’t search and seize Han Dong-hoon’s house, he’s confessing that his opposition to the separation of investigative powers was to protect his vested interests.”

Meanwhile, in a written response to a personnel hearing submitted to the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, a candidate related to the former Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s Office of Investigative Information, which served as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the Prosecutor General, said, “If the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office of Investigative Information Collection is abolished, the There is a risk that the direct investigation function of the prosecution will be jeopardized,” he said. In addition, the candidate said, “It is necessary to make a careful judgment” regarding the establishment of the Serious Crime Investigation Agency (Heavy Investigation Agency), which will be in charge of serious crimes following the completion of the inspection. ) the Ministry of Justice is desirable.”
