‘Public safety is the unlimited responsibility of the state’
Former Minister Kim Yong-hyun arrested on ‘charges of rebellion’… Prosecutors’ “strict investigation”
Chief Judge Nam said, “We took into consideration the level of justification for the crime, the seriousness of the crime, and concerns about destroying evidence.”
In particular, regarding the controversy that the crime of rebellion is not within the scope of the prosecution’s direct investigation, he explained, “It is judged to be within the scope of crimes for which the prosecutor can initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1, Item 1 (b) and (c) of the Prosecutor’s Office Act.”
The provisions of the Prosecutor’s Office Act specified by the court relate to the duties of prosecutors, respectively, ‘crimes committed by police officials and public officials belonging to the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office’, ‘crimes in items (a) and (b), and crimes transferred by judicial police officers. It means ‘relevant crime’.
