Prime Minister Kim Min-seok: "Abolishing Supplementary Investigation Rights Is Government's Basic Stance; We Respect National Assembly's Deliberations and Decisions"

Prime Minister Kim Min-seok announced that the government has finalized its basic stance to abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights, taking into account the various opinions discussed and heard by the administration.

Prime Minister Kim stated that the fundamental principle of the prosecution reform pursued by the Lee Jae-myung administration is the separation of investigation and indictment. He described this as a core measure to more rationally redefine the prosecution's authority and to more robustly protect the fundamental rights of the people.

Prime Minister Kim explained that the government would convey this basic stance to the party, and that moving forward, it would respect the deliberations and decisions of the National Assembly rather than proposing a separate legislative bill from the government.

He added that once legislation is enacted by the National Assembly, the government will faithfully implement the necessary follow-up measures in accordance with that decision.
