Noh Man-seok Acting Prosecutor General "Supplementary Investigation is Not a Right but a Duty of the Prosecution"

[Financial News] Noh Man-seok, the Acting Prosecutor General, expressed opposition to the abolition of the supplementary investigation authority, which is one of the issues in the ruling party's ongoing 'prosecution reform'.
According to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office on the 4th, Acting Prosecutor Noh emphasized in a meeting held in Busan after attending the 32nd International Cooperation Conference on Drug Eradication (ADLOMICO) that "revealing the truth through supplementary investigations while maintaining due process is not a right but a duty of the prosecution."
He further stated, "Let us fulfill our duty to protect the public from crime in the current situation and in future situations."
In the midst of the Democratic Party accelerating prosecution reform, Acting Prosecutor Noh appears to have made a determined statement representing the prosecution organization.
The National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee is holding a public hearing on the abolition of the Prosecutors' Office Act and the separation of investigation and prosecution. The Democratic Party plans to gather internal opinions through a legislative hearing on the 5th and reach a unified proposal through a high-level party-government council on the 7th.
