Han Dong-hoon: Abolishing supplementary investigation rights will lead to more Jang Yoon-gi cases

Independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon has strongly condemned the ruling Democratic Party's efforts to abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights. He warned that such a move would lead to a surge in cases similar to the high-profile Jang Yoon-gi murder, where a father's alleged involvement in evidence tampering is under scrutiny.

Will the Lee Jae-myung administration and the Democratic Party stand with murderers?

Han directly challenged the Democratic Party and the administration led by Lee Jae-myung, questioning whether they would "stand with murderers." He specifically pointed to the Jang Yoon-gi case, where the victim's father, a current police officer, is reportedly involved in destroying evidence. Han asserted that without the prosecution's ability to conduct supplementary investigations, such acts of obstruction by law enforcement officials and their associates might never be uncovered.

If this continues, after October 2, Jang Yoon-gi cases will emerge in succession.

The lawmaker criticized the Democratic Party's focus on the upcoming party convention, suggesting their push to eliminate supplementary investigation rights is politically motivated. He contrasted their silence on alleged police "fabrication" in the Jang Yoon-gi case with their vocal criticism of the prosecution's "manipulated indictments" in other matters. Han fears that if this trend continues, South Korea will see numerous "Jang Yoon-gi incidents" after October 2, where police misconduct or cover-ups go unnoticed and unpunished, creating a society where such actions are tolerated.

The Democratic Party is silent on the police's 'real fabrication' while vehemently protesting the prosecution's 'manipulated indictment' using Lee Hwa-young's 'salmon drinking party' lie as a pretext.
