Han Dong-hoon: "Abolishing the Prosecutors' Office Has Broken the Judicial System... Supplementary Investigation Rights Are a Minor Issue"

[Financial News] Han Dong-hoon, an independent lawmaker, strongly criticized the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) on the 12th for pushing to abolish the Prosecutors' Office's supplementary investigation rights.
In a post on social networking service (SNS) that day, Han said, "In a world created by the DPK administration, crimes like the Jang Yoon-gi case, which are buried and concealed, will continue to emerge." He added, "Ordinary people will not be able to recover money they have been cheated out of, and the principle of 'justice for the rich, punishment for the poor' will become routine."
Han said, "In fact, the judicial system has already been broken by the abolition of the Prosecutors' Office, and the current debate over whether to abolish supplementary investigation rights is only a minor issue that cannot revive a broken system." He added, "The issue of supplementary investigation rights is just a matter of whether to apply red medicine after stabbing someone and inflicting a fatal wound."
He emphasized, "It is clearly better than having none, but it cannot save a broken system. This is the responsibility of the DPK administration. We must rebuild conservatism, win a landslide victory in the 2028 general election, and restore the country to normal."
The post was shared along with a message from Choo Mi-ae, who led prosecution reform as chairperson of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly. In a post on SNS on the 11th, Choo said, "Even if there is some distrust and anxiety about police-led investigations, that cannot be used as an excuse to delay reform of the Prosecutors' Office, which has usurped democratic constitutional order." She added, "Yoon Suk Yeol's rise to power and the insurrection are system failures caused by the failure of prosecution reform, so the dispersal of prosecutorial power must be the most thorough and fundamental measure." Referring to the Jang Yoon-gi case, she also stressed, "We must not waver just before the final stretch of prosecution reform."
