Final Showdown Expected at Constitutional Court Over Total Abolition of Prosecutors' Investigation Powers Park Chan-woon, a professor at Hanyang University Law School who served as an advisory committee chair for the prosecution reform task force, posted on Facebook on August 2, saying, "This Criminal Procedure Act must cross the river of the Constitution," and adding, "To prevent confusion, the Constitutional Court must reach a conclusion as quickly as possible." Lawyer Park Seung-ok also pointed out the potential unconstitutionality of the amended Criminal Procedure Act, stating, "If the distribution of powers between investigative and prosecuting agencies alters whether criminal charges can be discovered in a timely manner, whether illegal and unfair acts by investigative agencies can be controlled, and whether victims' rights can be effectively protected, this is a constitutional issue directly related to the basic rights of citizens." Following the passage of the bill, the People Power Party also signaled legal action, stating, "We plan to legally contest the matter through competent authority disputes, constitutional complaints, and trials on the constitutionality of statutes," suggesting that the legal battle will continue at the Constitutional Court.
