The prosecution said that if the impeachment of Lee Chang-soo, the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, which is pushed by the Democratic Party of Korea, becomes a reality, it will disrupt various tasks such as the trial of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.
When asked by reporters today (7th) if they think the impeachment of the chief prosecutor will interfere with the investigation of the money envelope case or the representative Lee's trial, a prosecution official answered, "Of course it's disruptive."
The official explained that anti-corruption cases, especially under the 4th deputy chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, need to be made quickly, but there will be many difficulties without the head.
In connection with the non-prosecution of First Lady Kim Gun-hee, he strongly criticized which public official would perform the work if he impeached her for investigating the case even though there were appeals or re-appeals.
Earlier, more than 40 Democratic lawmakers said they would seek to impeach prosecutors, including Chief Prosecutor Lee, saying they would hold Kim responsible for not prosecuting him in connection with the alleged manipulation of Deutsche Motors stock prices.
