The Blue House Reaffirms Its Stance on Separating Investigation and Prosecution by the Prosecutors' Office... Refutes Yoo Si-min's Remarks
The key to prosecutorial reform is the separation of investigation and prosecution; the Blue House's reform stance remains unchanged Check only the key points, from the controversy over Yoo Si-min's remarks to President Lee Jae-myung's message
The Blue House said on the 16th that there has been no change in its reform direction of separating the prosecution's investigation and indictment functions. This is a rebuttal to writer Yoo Simin's remark that President Lee Jaemyung does not want such a separation.
In a briefing, Blue House Chief Spokesperson Kang Yujung explained that while it does not respond separately to specific remarks, writer Yoo's claim is not true. The Blue House and the Presidential Office emphasized that the core values of prosecution reform have never wavered.
The controversy arose the previous day when writer Yoo, on a YouTube broadcast, linked the reason for the delay in prosecution reform to President Lee's intentions. At a work report meeting that day, President Lee pointed out that misinformation and factional conflict increase social costs, and warned against divisive confrontations.
