KBA: "Jang Yoon-ki Case Would Have Been Buried Without Supplementary Investigation; Need for Prosecution's Investigative Authority" The KBA suggested, "The prosecution's supplementary investigation should be exceptionally permitted for public livelihood cases or crimes linked to facts uncovered in cases referred by the police to prevent investigative gaps." The KBA explained, "In a survey conducted among members nationwide, the response that 'both the authority to request supplementary investigations and the authority to conduct them should be granted' accounted for the highest proportion."
