There is a strong public opinion against the high-ranking public officials’ crime investigation office (Public Investigation Agency), which has been exposed to difficulties in the investigation into the alleged indictment. Major daily newspapers criticized the airlift in their editorial on the 6th. Both liberal and conservative newspapers criticized with one voice.
The accusation that Choi Kang-wook, the leader of the Open Democratic Party, and Yoo Si-min, former chairman of the Roh Moo-hyung Foundation, were accused of instigating the accusation just before the general election last year, saying, “Son Jun-seong, Investigative Information Policy Officer at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office → Kim Woong, Future Unification Party (predecessor to the People’s Power) candidate → Jo Seong-eung of the Future Unification Party The suspicion that it was delivered in the order of ‘the vice-chairman of the election committee’. As the incident took place while Yoon Seok-yeol, the People’s Strength presidential candidate, was serving as the Prosecutor General, there was also a lot of doubt that Yoon was behind the prosecution’s accusation.
The Ministry of Public Security and Security also requested arrest warrants and even 1st and 2nd arrest warrants against Son Jun-seong, a human rights protector of the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office, a key figure in the suspicion, but the court rejected the request. Criticism of the hastily requesting an arrest and arrest warrant without proper investigation by the Air Airborne Service as a violation of the suspect’s right to defend has grown. This time, the Ministry of Airborne Affairs notified the attendance of the hand test on the 6th due to the suspicion of ‘writing a document for the judge’s inspection’.
In an editorial, the Kyunghyang Shinmun said, “The Ministry of Airlift and Security has requested three warrants for an arrest warrant and the first and second arrest warrants for one person, but they were all dismissed. The Air Airborne Service is also facing the greatest crisis since its inception, with its investigative power being questioned.”
Kyunghyang interprets the Ministry of Airlift and Public Security’s bringing up the case of the judge’s investigation as “the Airborne Service, which failed to achieve results in the investigation into the alleged fraud, is trying to find a way out by turning to a different target.”
Kyunghyang said, “The Airborne Service was launched in January with the expectation that it will strictly investigate corruption in high-ranking public officials and effectively contain the prosecution, which has monopolized the right to prosecute. Not a single recruit was secured and not a single case of prosecution was filed.”
He continued, “The Ministry of Air Transport should face the current situation and look at where the cause of the problem lies. Through thorough self-reflection and radical renewal, the trust as an investigative agency must be restored as soon as possible.”
The Seoul Shimbun also said in an editorial, “I believe that the only thing that the Ministry of Airlift and Security has shown to the public since its official launch on January 21 is ‘incompetence’. The fact that it was established proves that it is an insolvent organization that does not have basic investigative capabilities.”
After emphasizing the fact that Kim Jin-wook, Minister of Airborne Affairs, said in his inaugural address, “I will maintain political neutrality by only taking the side of the people, not the ruling party or the opposition party,” said the Seoul Shimbun. ‘ He tilts his head at the passage. Cho Hee-yeon, the superintendent of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, chose the suspicion of unfair special recruitment as the first case.
He continued, “If the truth had been uncovered that the Airborne Service concentrated its investigation on the case of a powerful presidential candidate in the opposition party, it would have received applause.” More and more people are expressing their doubts,” he said.
The Seoul Shimbun said, “It is not yet at the stage of completely denying the legitimacy of the Public Service, which aims to increase national transparency and public trust in the public service by eradicating crimes of high-ranking officials and their families.” It is difficult for the investigation to gain public support,” he said. He then urged the ‘replacement of heads’, saying, “In order to normalize the composition of the people and renew the atmosphere, the sooner the change of the head is better.”
In an editorial, the JoongAng Ilbo said, “The recent actions of the Airborne Service raise serious concerns in terms of human rights investigations and political neutrality. It is a rare disgrace. Many of the personnel of the Airborne Service are now engaged in investigations related to the opposition party,” he said.
He continued, “It is said that Yeo Woon-guk, the deputy director of the Airborne Division (the chief prosecutor in the investigation of the accusation case), said that he himself was an ‘amateur’ during the substantive examination of Prosecutor Sohn’s warrant on the 2nd. deserve it As an amateur, it will only cause laughter if you ask him to understand that he dances his sword as he pleases.”
The central government said, “From the beginning of the establishment, the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon provided an official car for Kim to cause a controversy over the ‘Emperor investigation’, but recently, the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office was seized and searched for leaking the indictment of Lee Seong-yoon. The public transport agency should take the situation of the abolition theory seriously. We do not need an investigative agency that is clumsy and more biased than the prosecution in our country,” he added.
In an editorial in the Segye Ilbo, “Securing a new recruit for Prosecutor Sohn is the most important step in the investigation into the allegation of the accuser,” he said. It is difficult to understand why a warrant was issued even after conducting an erroneous investigation. It is not unreasonable to say that the investigation into the allegation of the accuser has actually run aground.”
The Segye Ilbo said, “In the past, the Ministry of Airborne Affairs was accused of being politically biased and embroiled in ‘controversy over illegality’ in various cases when it was just a search and seizure. He said, “It’s probably because I’m accusing the presidential candidate of Hime.” He added, “It is not at all strange that the theory of the abolition of the Airborne Service is being raised because of suspicion of incompetence and political bias.”
