Prosecutors Request a Review of the Corruption Investigations Unit's Request for Repatriation... "The Requirements Do Not Meet"

It has been confirmed that the Supreme Prosecutors' Office has requested a review of the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office, which demanded a transfer of the "emergency martial law-related case."

According to Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung's "Not Attendance Letter," partially released by Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office requested the request, saying, "The demand does not meet the legal requirements."

According to the reason, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office proposed the formation of a joint investigation headquarters to the National Police Agency shortly after the special investigation headquarters of the prosecution was launched on the 6th, but it was rejected.

Later on the afternoon of the 8th, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to transfer the case, which the next day asked to "review whether it is appropriate to maintain the request for transfer considering the degree of the investigation."

However, he explained that he has not yet reached a consultation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit of the National Police Agency and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Accordingly, each institution has expressed its intention to participate, and it is known that it is currently coordinating the date and time with specific participants in the council.
