“The cover-up of the murder of a civil servant in Seohae, the ‘successful model for indictment cancellation’ that President Lee dreams of.”
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yeon-jeong and Noh Seon-woong = People Power Party floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik said on the 8th, "The target of the investigation into the special prosecution law for cancellation of indictment, which the Democratic Party of Korea snatched away, includes the trial related to the case of concealing the murder of the Seohae civil servant. In a word, this case is the 'successful model of cancellation of indictment' that President Lee Jae-myung dreams of."
In a Facebook post on this day, floor leader Jeong claimed, "This case is a perfect success model for the deletion of trials that President Lee dreams of, from 'Step 1, government agencies submit materials to suit their taste → Step 2, putting pressure on the court by exposing suspicions of the judge's personal misconduct → Step 3, first trial court acquittal → Step 4, cancellation of trial by waiving appeal on major charges → Step 5, political retaliation against the indicting prosecutor through special prosecution.'"
He mentioned, "Democratic Party lawmaker Park Jie-won and key figures in the Moon Jae-in administration mobilized the National Intelligence Service (regarding the cover-up of the murder of a Seohae civil servant) to produce favorable materials, submitted them to the court, threatened the judge, and pressured the prosecution to obtain an acquittal in this case."
In addition, he said, “The people who cannot be satisfied with this are the Democratic Party,” and pointed out, “The reason why this case was included in the special prosecutor’s investigation to cancel the indictment is that they will take political revenge on the prosecutors who indicted them through the special prosecutor.”
Floor leader Jeong explained, "If you look at the flow of the Seohae civil servant shooting incident, you can understand the purpose of the things that the Lee Jae-myung administration has been doing, such as giving up on appealing the Daejang-dong gang, threatening to impeach the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, operating an organization called the 'Prosecution Human Rights Respect and Future Committee', and introducing a special prosecutor to cancel indictments."
He said, "President Lee's absurd dream will never come true, because the people have already figured out this administration's cunning method of eliminating trials."
On the morning of the 9th, Floor Leader Jeong plans to hold a Supreme Council meeting in front of the Blue House to condemn the ruling party's forced implementation of the 'Fabricated Prosecution Special Prosecutor Act' and then become the first runner to hold a one-person relay protest.
