The Ministry of Justice plans to conduct regular personnel appointments this week for the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and the Deputy Chief Prosecutor in charge of the investigation.
It is known that the deputy chief prosecutor and some rank-and-file prosecutors are also included in the personnel list.
In particular, the prospect is strong that the investigation into allegations related to the previous administration will begin in earnest when the main investigation team is reorganized after the reorganization and personnel changes are completed.
Prosecutors are expected to start an investigation into the case of ‘a public official hit in the West Sea’, which is suspected of manipulating the results of the investigation by the Moon Jae-in administration’s Blue House.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office is still in the stage of reviewing the complaints of the bereaved family, but it is said that they are focusing on direct investigation instead of sending the case to other investigative agencies such as the High-ranking Officials Crime Investigation Office.
It is noteworthy whether the investigation into the Moon Jae-in government’s blacklist allegation will be extended to those above the Blue House at the time.
At the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office, which is investigating allegations of blacklisting by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the new chief of the Prosecutor’s Office, Lim Gwan-hyeok, who is investigating the allegations of blacklisting by the Ministry of Industry, has been newly appointed, and the anti-corruption department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, the largest in the country, is also receiving and reviewing cases of blacklisting allegations from various departments at the time.
Prosecutors are expanding their investigation network to other ministries in relation to the ‘Ministry of Gender Equality and Family’s presidential campaign promise development’, and the investigation into the ‘Daejang-dong suspicion’, which had been suspended due to successive presidential and local elections, is resumed, and attention is paid to whether a link with Lee Jae-myung, then mayor of Seongnam, can be found. It’s possible.
Regarding the case in which Rep. Jae-myung Lee was recently accused of violating the Election Act while running for president, an investigation was conducted for the first time in six months.
This is because the ‘Complete Inspection’ Act, which reduces the scope of the prosecution’s direct investigation, will go into effect in September, and the statute of limitations for election law cases is also less than three months from the election day, which is six months.
Prosecutors recalled CEO Kim Jae-hyun, who was arrested on suspicion of Optimus fund fraud, and Lee Dong-yeol, the second-largest shareholder, as witnesses for the first time in about a year for investigation. It’s possible.
