MBC [100-Minute Debate]

Broadcast: Tonight (6th) at 11:20 PM

After 78 years since the abolition of the Prosecutors' Office, the 'Prosecution Service', which specializes in indictments, and the 'Serious Crimes Investigation Agency', which specializes in investigations, have been launched. While they must perform the core functions of the criminal justice process—namely, the filing and maintenance of indictments and the investigation of serious crimes, respectively—the leaders who can lead these organizations are currently in a state of vacancy.

At the working level, challenges to be solved, such as manpower shortages and the lack of subordinate statutes and systems, are piled high like mountains, leading to concerns about various large and small side effects for some time. However, the government and the ruling party have emphasized the necessity of the institutional reform and pushed forward with unwavering implementation.

What institutional supplements must be prepared so that the Prosecution Service and the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, which have shown incomplete aspects from the start, can quickly settle into the system and reduce confusion in the field?

The MBC [100-Minute Debate], broadcasting tonight (6th) at 11:20 PM, will focus on discussing ways for the new criminal justice system to make a soft landing under the theme .

In this broadcast, Lee Keon-tae of the Democratic Party of Korea, former New Reform Party Supreme Council member Kim Jeong-cheol, former Ministry of Justice Minister's Policy Advisor Jo Sang-ho, and Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ahn Mi-hyun of the Daejeon District Prosecution Service Cheonan Branch Office will appear to discuss in depth the measures to minimize the side effects of the new criminal justice system and to settle the system.
