Prosecutor Park met with reporters in front of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s Civil Service Office at around 1:50 p.m. on this day and spoke about the suspicions of the salmon drinking party. “바로 옆에 있던 교도관도 알지 못했다는 것이고 그런 일이 없었다는 건데 그게 어떻게 사실일 수 있겠나”saying “증거 능력도 없는 거짓말탐지기 결과를 가지고 징계한다는 것 자체가 검찰 역사상 단 한 번도 있지 않았던 일이고, 전혀 법리나 실체에도 맞지 않는다”claimed.

mudfish “감찰 혐의가 무엇인지 감찰 혐의가 몇 개인지 전혀 통보받은 바가 없다”as “아무리 잘못했고 징계하더라도 절차적인 방어권이나 소명할 기회가 전혀 주어지지 않은 채 정해진 결론에 의해 징계가 이뤄져선 안 된다고 생각한다”He said.

Prosecutor Park “절차 내에서 할 수 있는 게 있다면 이런 식으로 일개 공무원이 언론 앞에 서거나 기약 없이 민원실에 대기할 일 없었을 것”He said “(감찰위원회) 외부 위원들께 신문고를 두드리는 심정으로 소명해 드릴 기회를 갖고 싶다”He said.

he is “대검 감찰위원회 이후에 법무부로 넘어가면 법무부 감찰위원회도 있고 징계위원회에서 최종적으로 징계가 결정되는 걸로 안다”as “만약 징계 처분이 최종적으로 내려졌는데 그 내용을 받아들일 수 없다면 취소 소송을 제기할 예정”He said.

Prosecutor Park also submitted a 50-page opinion to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on the 7th.

While Prosecutor Park was investigating the Ssangbangwool remittance case to North Korea at the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, he is suspected of coaxing statements from suspects, including Lee Hwa-young, former vice-governor of Gyeonggi Province, and former Ssangbangwool chairman Kim Seong-tae, by providing salmon and alcohol.

The ruling party’s claim is that it obtained a statement to the effect that Lee Jae-myeong, then leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was involved in remittances to North Korea through a statement of persuasion.

The Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office’s Human Rights Violation Inspection Task Force (TF), which has been investigating the allegations, is understood to have concluded that there was a drinking party on May 17, 2023, and reported this to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.

It is said that the case was based on the corporate card payment details of former Ssangbangwool director Park purchasing soju at a nearby convenience store and the fact that he gave a truthful response to a lie detector test conducted on former Deputy Governor Lee.

However, former Chairman Kim, who previously appeared as a witness for the National Assembly investigation, “문제가 된 5월 17일에 정확히 술 안 먹었다”He said.

Former Ssangbangwool director Park was also identified as the person who purchased alcohol at the convenience store at the time. “개인적으로 먹으려고 (술을) 샀고 차 안에서 먹었다”He denied the suspicion of drinking.
