The Kim Geon-hee luxury bag incident has concluded with no charges filed, and reactions indicate that even prosecutors cannot accept this behavior. In fact, one current prosecutor did not hesitate to voice a life-threatening criticism. It seems that this prosecutor made such statements because they believe they can withstand various pressures, including external influence. This is shocking.

The investigation team of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has reportedly concluded that there are no charges in the luxury bag case involving Mrs. Kim Geon-hee. Critics argue that this conclusion was reached after a passive investigation that seemed to follow the directives of the presidential office, ultimately leading to a predetermined outcome. The facts surrounding the luxury bag incident involving Mrs. Kim are considered clear by many. In June 2022, Pastor Choi Jae-yong delivered Chanel perfume and cosmetics worth 1.8 million won to Mrs. Kim. In July of the same year, he provided items worth 400,000 won.

I sent a one-won whiskey and a book passport, and in September, I gifted Kim a Dior 100 worth 3 million won. Pastor Choi, who proved that he provided over 5 million won in goods to Mrs. Kim, stated that before handing over the money, he made requests to Mrs. Kim for the burial of former Congressman Kim Chang-jun in the National Cemetery after his death, for a meeting with President Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife during the visit of the American Former Congressmen's Association, and for the retransmission of Unification TV. Earlier, Pastor Choi also requested to attend the state dinner at the Shilla Hotel commemorating President Yoon's inauguration in May 2022. However, the prosecution concluded that this exchange of money was not related to the president's duties and found no violation of the anti-bribery law. This conclusion mirrors the logic of the National Rights Commission's termination decision, which has drawn public criticism.

The prosecution, which has stronger investigative powers than the police, was able to more actively uncover and determine the job-relatedness of the money received by Mrs. Kim. This is the reason behind the legal community's suggestion that the specific crime of aggravated punishment law for soliciting bribes or violations of the Attorney-at-Law Act could apply to Mrs. Kim. Soliciting bribes refers to the act of facilitating matters related to a public servant's duties and receiving or promising money or benefits. The Attorney-at-Law Act punishes those who receive or promise money for soliciting or facilitating cases handled by public officials. However, the investigation team of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office concluded that even this could not be applied to Mrs. Kim, finding no charges and opting for a complete exemption. On this day, Pastor Choi stated in a press release that he had asked Congressman Kim Chang-jun to stabilize the national situation after his passing and requested the re-broadcasting of Unification TV. These details have been confirmed through KakaoTalk messages and audio recordings, indicating that this was a solicitation.

The prosecution has concluded that the gifts were a means to meet with the inspector as a sign of gratitude, which does not make sense to me. When giving gifts, there can be various meanings, including both a sincere gesture and a request. I do not understand how one could conclude that there was only one pure meaning behind the act of giving gifts. On the 22nd, Lee Chang-soo, the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, reported the investigation's conclusion to Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok. Although the Prosecutor General, who has emphasized strict handling, could convene the investigation review committee by his authority, it remains uncertain whether the conclusions could be overturned through the review. When the prosecution's decision of no charges was announced, there were voices of criticism in the legal community, openly suggesting that it was a form of favoritism. A prosecutor official stated that if President Yoon Seok-yeol had conducted the investigation, he would certainly have been charged with bribery or violations of the Attorney-at-Law Act. In the past, former President Park Geun-hye faced comprehensive...

A president who has been punished for bribery indicates that the relationship of reciprocity must be widely acknowledged. Following the same logic, the president's spouse can be identified as someone who can facilitate matters related to the president's duties, given their immense power. A lawyer who is a former judge stated that not only are there allegations of soliciting bribes or violating the lawyer's law, but if President Yoon was aware that Kim Yeo-jung received money and valuables, bribery charges could be applied. He also remarked that questioning whether solicitation took place in such cases is itself a peculiar matter. Lee Chang-min, chairman of the Lawyers' Association for a Democratic Society, pointed out that there are testimonies from the giver and footage of the bag being received, declaring that this case has been fully substantiated. He asserted that it has ended but has turned into a concealed case due to the prosecution's conclusion of no charges, resulting in a judicial decision not being made. Legal professionals are expected to take some action soon.

I only hope that we do not suffer from pressure. The criticism from civil society and the opposition is growing stronger day by day. The People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy stated that the prosecution no longer has a reason to exist. Now, Kim Geon-hee has said that a special investigation is necessary. Following the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which faced criticism over its interests, it has been reported that the prosecution has concluded that there is no wrongdoing in the case involving First Lady Kim Geon-hee's luxury bag. This adds further weight to the public opinion calling for a special investigation. Major media outlets reported on the 21st that the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office sent a report to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, concluding that there was no wrongdoing in the luxury bag case involving Kim Geon-hee and six other individuals. The prosecution determined that the luxury items received by the First Lady from Pastor Choi Jae-yong were not related to President Yoon Seok-yeol's official duties, and thus there was no obligation to report it.

The spokesperson for the Democratic Party, Do Seung, stated during a briefing that although the political prosecution may issue a fraudulent exemption, the public can never forgive them. He pointed out that if the prosecution handles the luxury bag case without proper investigation, it will prove the necessity of a special investigation team by itself. 

The civic group Participatory Justice also issued a statement titled Isn't the prosecution, which has acted as a servant of power, ashamed? They criticized the prosecution's final conclusion of no charges against Kim Geon-hee, arguing that it only demonstrates the need for a special investigation. The group noted that considering the prosecution's consistent behavior of conducting investigations with a predetermined outcome, such as replacing the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and conducting royal business trips, the conclusion of no charges against Kim Geon-hee was predictable. They emphasized that this conclusion did not deviate from the guidelines set by Kim Geon-hee and the presidential office.

I condemn the prosecution, which has once again shown itself to be a tool of power. In particular, this organization stated that the prosecution's handling of the case reported by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, without even a minimal investigation and only concluding with a legal review, is no different from the National Rights Commission. They criticized the prosecution for voluntarily becoming a servant to power, denying its existence as an investigative agency, and collectively condemned both the Rights Commission and the prosecution. 

On June 10, the Rights Commission concluded the case involving First Lady Kim Geon-hee as non-indictable, led by figures close to President Yoon Seok-yeol, including Vice Chairman Jeong Seung-yoon, who is from the presidential campaign team. After the investigation officer from the Rights Commission passed away on the 8th, Vice Chairman Jeong expressed his condolences. The side of Pastor Choi Jae-young sent a statement to the media on that day, denying any relevance to the president's duties and stating that the prosecution's decision of non-indictment was completely incomprehensible.

He argued that there is no evidence, particularly stating that he believed the prosecution was a means to show gratitude. He pointed out that when giving gifts, there are various meanings involved, including both appreciation and requests. He questioned how one could conclude that there was only a single, pure meaning when giving a gift. What is even more frightening is what happened after the Kim Geon-hee case was concluded with no charges. He was worried about the possibility of external pressure on the prosecutors, but indirect external pressure has already begun. Jo Guk, the leader of the Innovation Party, announced that former National Assembly member Lee Sang-jik, who was appointed as the head of the Small and Medium Business Administration during the Moon Jae-in administration, was summoned by the prosecution, which is currently under investigation. This indicates that indiscriminate targeting of opposition figures is becoming a reality. On the 21st, Representative Jo Guk posted on his Facebook that the prosecution contacted the offices of lawmakers.

Lee Sang-jik, the former head of the Small and Medium Business Administration, stated that he would attend the Jeonju District Prosecutor's Office at 9:20 AM on August 24 for a witness investigation related to his appointment as the head of the Industrial Complex. According to media reports, Representative Jo expressed that the prosecution is designating President Moon Jae-in as a suspect in this case and is pushing the investigation in that direction. He pointed out that when the approval ratings of the Lee Myung-bak administration fell, they mobilized the prosecution to aggressively pursue investigations against President Roh Moo-hyun, resulting in a tragic outcome.

Furthermore, based on the recently disclosed messages and statements from Kim Gun-hee, it has been claimed that the couple, Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Gun-hee, shamelessly profess to respect President Roh Moo-hyun. However, in reality, Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol was the one who fervently investigated the family of President Roh after his passing and wrote the indictment against them. What do you think about this situation? For the sake of the good people of South Korea, political revenge should not be tolerated in any form.

I will continue to speak the truth until the end, despite external pressure.

We must ensure that there are consequences, not just impeachment. This is why you need to join us in the Political Observatory.
