Former Supreme Council member: “Special prosecution for fabricated indictments plays a role in driving approval ratings”… 28th report meeting notice

As the Democratic Party of Korea announced that it will quickly push for the so-called special prosecution bill on manipulation of prosecutions after the National Assembly audit ends at the end of this month, the party's top member is trying to create public opinion for this purpose.

Rep. Yong-ki Yong-gi, the Democratic Party's highest-ranking member, said on YTN radio that day, "I believe that the special prosecution for fabricated indictments will play a role that can sufficiently drive the approval rating of the support base," and added, "I plan to hold a briefing session on fabricated indictments at the National Assembly on the 28th."

Regarding the nature of the briefing session, he said, "It is necessary to share examples of what is 'fabricated'," and explained that it will be held in the form of collecting and presenting cases of fabricated prosecutions that were uncovered by the 'Special Committee for State Affairs Investigation into the Fact-finding Facts about the Suspicion of Manipulated Indictments by Political Prosecutors under the Yoon Seok-yeol regime' led by the party.

He then emphasized, "We plan to explain in detail to the public, not simply, 'Let's reveal the fabricated indictments, let's institute a special prosecution,' but 'Because there were such and such cases, we must introduce a special prosecution for fabricated indictments and hold them accountable. That is the completion of prosecution reform.'"
