The idea of overturning even the Supreme Court ruling on Lee's election law case through a special prosecutor investigation
[Editorial] The idea of overturning even the Supreme Court ruling on Lee's election law case through a special prosecutor investigation
The ‘Fabricated Prosecution Special Counsel Act’ is unconstitutional and illegal in that it allows a special prosecutor appointed by the President to investigate whether cases in which President Lee Jae-myung was indicted—such as the Daejang-dong and North Korea remittance cases—were fabricated.
It can only be viewed as an intention to influence the relevant trials in some form.
In particular, the scope of the special prosecutor's investigation includes President Lee's election law violation case, for which the Supreme Court has effectively rendered a guilty verdict, fueling further controversy.
In this case, the prosecution indicted Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung ahead of the 2022 presidential election for falsely stating that he "had never played golf with the late Kim Moon-ki, head of the Seongnam Development Corporation, during an overseas business trip" and that "the zoning of the Baekhyeon-dong site was upgraded due to threats from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport."
Whether the statements were true or not is merely a matter of judgment; there is nothing to fabricate or manipulate in terms of evidence. Throughout the three levels of trial, the courts found no evidence of fabrication. Yet, they are proposing to launch an investigation into a case that lacks even such suspicions of fabrication.
