Investigation and seizure of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, ‘Lee Seong-yun’s alleged leak of indictment’… Withdrawal of ’empty hands’ (3 steps overall)

7 hours and 40 minutes for one person only… Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office cannot proceed

‘Kim Hak’s Illegal Withdrawal Investigation Outside the Investigation’ Investigation Team 3 People Observe… “Prosecution for return to the original ward is also on warrant”

Observation inspection “I missed the notice” vs. Airlift “Complying with due process”

(Gwacheon/Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Jae-seo and Jeong Seong-jo = The Crime Investigation Office for Senior Officials launched a search and seizure on the 26th in connection with the leak of the indictment of the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office, Lee Seong-yoon, but in fact withdrew ’empty-handed’.

The Airlift Service sent about 10 prosecutors and investigators to the Information and Communication Division of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office around 10 am on the same day, and after discussing for about 5 hours with officials and observers of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, the server was seized and searched for about 2 hours from 3:30 pm.

It is known that the night execution warrant for the seizure and search was not received separately, so it was conducted for only one person, and the procedure was stopped when the evening came. Accordingly, it is expected that an additional search and seizure will be conducted next week.

◇ Only one person was searched and confiscated and withdrew… Re-enforcement inevitable

The leak of the indictment became controversial for the first time when the contents of the indictment by the high prosecutor Lee, who was charged with coercing Kim Hak’s illegal departure ban, were reported in the media before the party even received them.

The Public Investigation Service booked a case reported by Citizens’ Action for Correcting Justice in relation to the leak of the indictment of the high prosecutor’s office at the end of May and is investigating the case.

It is said that in the search and seizure that day, it is reported that the internal network messenger and email of the investigation team of the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office, which indicted the high prosecutor on May 12, were confirmed.

It is interpreted as the purpose of examining how the investigation team communicated with doctors or shared data in the process of the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office reviewing and completing the indictment and making an approval.

The investigative team notified of the search and seizure included former Suwon High Prosecutor’s Office Chief Oh In-seo, former Anti-Corruption and Violence Department Director Shin Sung-shik, and former Suwon Prosecutor’s Office 2nd Deputy Chief Prosecutor Song Kang, who led the investigation and prosecution of Senior Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon.

Three prosecutors from the investigation team, including Chief Prosecutor Im Se-jin, directly observed the search and seizure conducted by the Airborne Division in the meeting room of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

After the visit, Prosecutor Lim met with Yonhap News reporter and said, “There were a total of 7 people who were subject to the search and seizure, but I ended up alone.”

It is known that the suspect is still listed as ‘unknown name’ in the search and seizure warrant of the Airborne Division. The allegation is leaking of official secrets.

◇ “Not notified in advance” vs “Not obligatory”… Another controversy

The Airborne Service conducted a search and seizure of prosecutors other than Prosecutor Lim, but received complaints because they did not go through the procedure notice. It is known that the prosecutor of the Airborne Service on the spot said, ‘Let’s pretend we didn’t do it’ and then went back.

Prosecutor Lim said, “(Time) got delayed while we talked about the process and participation (of the seizure and search).

Regarding this, the Ministry of Airlift and Security said, “In the process of extracting and securing the object, a notice was delivered, but it is not obligatory.” We have decided to re-execute,” he explained.

“It cannot be said that it is illegal or that procedural rights are omitted simply because the time of delivery of the notice is somewhat delayed,” he said.

◇ Prosecutors returning to the Wondae are also included in the warrant as an ‘Investigation Team’.

Even before the execution of the raid, the air raids were controversial due to opposition from the parties involved.

On the 23rd, Choi Seok-gyu, head of the investigation department, the chief prosecutor of the Airborne Division, notified the prosecutors who were active as the investigative team at the time when the prosecution was investigating the former chief prosecutor of the search and seizure.

The target of the seizure and search notification also included two dispatched prosecutors who returned from the investigation team in March, before the prosecution of the former chief prosecutor, and the prosecutors to whom the notification was sent were opposed to this.

On the same day, Prosecutor Lim said, “I confirmed that I and Kim Kyung-mok, who returned to the warrant, are part of the ‘Investigation Team at the time of indictment’. said

A prosecutor who was notified of the search and seizure said, “A civic group accuses an incumbent prosecutor with an unknown name, and that only us (the investigation team) are conducting a search and seizure is a typical target investigation.” “, he also criticized.
