Park Chan-dae, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, spoke on the 7th about the prosecution’s investigation into former Gyeonggi vice governor Lee Hwa-young’s suspicion of sending money to North Korea and the investigation into corruption in ‘entrance exam for Jo Min, the daughter of Cho Kuk, leader of the Fatherland Innovation Party, said: “If you look at the prosecutor’s investigation, there are illegal acts and violations of procedures,” Yonhap News reported that she could have taken considering the introduction of a special public prosecutor to investigate the legality of the investigations carried out so far by the prosecutor’s office against opposition figures.
In an interview with Yonhap News earlier this day, Floor Leader Park said, “The manipulation of cases by prosecutors is a very serious problem” and “The problem is that we have not been able to adequately control the actions illegal prosecutors, so away.” Ultimately, the National Assembly must play its role,” he said. He stressed that the scope of the special investigation could be extended not only to the death of a marine or the special investigation of First Lady Kim Kun-hee, but also to the prosecutor’s overall investigation of the opposition party.
In relation to Ssangbangwool’s suspicion of remittances to North Korea, former deputy governor Lee Hwa-young raised suspicions that could undermine the legitimacy of the prosecution’s investigation, for example by stating that she drank alcohol in the prosecutor’s office and held a “salmon drinking party”‘ while being persuaded by the prosecution to make statements regarding Representative Lee even before the April 10 general election. After the Democratic Party’s landslide victory in the general election, Representative Lee also added on the 16th: “Former Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young’s statement seems to be 100% true.”
In this regard, lead Park said: “We have not yet received a report on specific details,” but added: “We will examine it thoroughly later and decide whether to proceed with a special investigation.” After their landslide victory in the general election, hardliners within the Democratic Party argue that a special prosecutor should investigate whether the prosecution manipulated the investigations into Lee Hwa-young and Cho Min.
In fact, the Democratic Party’s special task force on case manipulation of political prosecutions will visit the Suwon Detention Center on this day to interview the head of the Suwon Detention Center regarding allegations of a drinking party at the ‘prosecutor’s office raised by former deputy governor Lee and meet with former deputy governor Lee Hwa-young. Today’s visit will be accompanied by Democratic Party lawmaker Min Hyeong-bae, who heads the task force, as well as former prosecutors Joo Cheol-hyun, Park Kyun-taek, Kim Ki-pyo and Lee Seong-yoon.
Even immediately after its landslide victory in the 21st general elections in April 2020, the Democratic Party raised suspicions that the prosecution had forced and manipulated the statements of witnesses detained in the investigation of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook, who was sentenced to two years in prison. prison for illegal political corruption, effectively “saving Han Myung-sook”. However, it turned out that the suspicion was baseless.
