Blue House Responds to Yoo Si-min's Criticism of Prosecutorial Reform: "Never Wavered on Separation of Investigation and Indictment"

The Blue House has dismissed recent criticism from author Yoo Sih Min regarding President Lee Jaemyung's commitment to prosecution reform, stating, "We do not have a separate position or response to remarks made by specific individuals."

Kang Yujeong, Senior Spokesperson of the Blue House, responded to a related question during a briefing on this day, saying, "Neither the Blue House nor President Lee has ever wavered regarding the core value of prosecution reform, which is the separation of investigative and prosecutorial powers."

Previously, Yoo appeared on the YouTube program 'Maebul Show' and claimed, "The reason prosecution reform has not been achieved for over a year is because President Lee does not want the complete separation of investigation and indictment." He also criticized President Lee's approach to state administration, saying, "It is a very poor judgment and an inevitable path to failure."
