행안장관 "임은정 광주중수청장 감찰 지시…중수청 정치기관 착각"(종합)

Quick Look

윤호중 행정안전부 장관이 중대범죄수사청 조직 및 운영에 관한 법률에 따라 임은정 광주지방중수청장에 대한 감찰을 지시했다. 이는 중수청 출범 이후 행안장관으로서 첫 감독권 행사로, 윤 장관은 임 청장이 중수청장 후보자 검증에 지나치게 집중하고 있다고 비판하며, 공직부패와 경제·사이버·마약범죄 대응을 위한 기관의 설립 취지가 훼손되지 않도록 기강을 세울 필요가 있다고 강조했다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

중대범죄수사청은 공직부패, 경제, 사이버, 마약범죄 등을 수사하기 위해 신설된 기관으로, 행안부 장관이 전반적인 지휘·감독권을 갖지만 구체적 사건에 대해서는 청장만을 감독하도록 중수청법에 규정되어 있다.

윤호중 행정안전부 장관이 11일 김지용 초대 중대범죄수사청장 후보자를 공개 비판해 온 임은정 광주지방중수청장에 대해 감찰을 지시했다.

윤 장관은 이날 X에 올린 게시글에서 "임은정 광주지방중수청장에 대해 감찰에 착수할 것을 중수청에 지시하겠다"며 "임 청장은 중수청을 수사하는 기관이 아니라 정치하는 기관으로 착각하고 있는 것 같다"고 비판했다.

윤 장관의 이번 감찰 지시는 '중대범죄수사청 조직 및 운영에 관한 법률(이하 중수청법)'에 따른 것이다. 중수청 출범 뒤로 행안장관으로서 첫번째 감독권 행사로 받아들여진다.

중수청법 제6조는 "행안부 장관은 일반적으로 중대범죄수사청장과 그 소속 직원을 지휘·감독한다. 다만, 구체적 사건에 대해서는 중대범죄수사청장만을 지휘·감독한다"고 규정한다.

윤 장관은 "공직부패와 경제, 사이버, 마약범죄 등 우리 사회의 정의를 바로 세우기 위해 신설되는 기관의 간부가, 중수청장 후보자에 대한 지적질에 골몰하는 모습을 우려하는 눈으로 보시는 국민들이 많다"고 지적했다.

그러면서 "과거 검찰의 정치개입과 집단행동 등 잘못된 관행이 중수청으로 옮겨오는 것이 아닌지 걱정"이라고 우려했다.

윤 장관은 "중수청장 후보자의 검증은 임명권자인 대통령과 인사청문회를 책임진 국회가 헌법과 법률에 따라 진행하게 될 것"이라고 밝혔다.

이어 "중수청이, 고위공직자로서의 품위와 기관의 사명에 걸맞지 않은 행동에 대해 기강을 세우는 일을 소홀히 하지 않는 것 역시, 주권자인 국민이 명령한 검찰개혁의 한 부분이 될 것"이라고 거듭 강조했다.

앞서 임은정 광주중수청장은 자신의 페이스북에 글을 올려 "초대 중수청장은 1호 중수청 수사관"이라며 "반면교사로 삼아야 할 사람이 1호가 되면 안 되는 것"이라고 비판하는 등 김지용 후보자를 공개 저격해 왔다.

President Lee "It's natural to block profanity... It's a word that has been used since Moon's days."

President Lee Jae-myung once again emphasized the importance of communication through an anecdote with former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, saying that a healthy forum for public discussion must be blocked on social media by blocking accounts that spew out abusive language and profanity. He also refuted that the expression 'left-handed' is not an Ilbe term and that we should be wary of excessive seriousness, and said that interpretations are being made targeting Gyeonggi Province Governor Choo Mi-ae, criticizing cuts to the welfare budget for the common people.
