Chapter 654: The Supreme Prosecutor's Office
Chapter 654 Supreme Prosecutor's Office
On Monday, December 7th, it snowed heavily.
The sky was overcast, sticky snowflakes were falling, and the whole world was white.
Thick snow sticks to the road, racing against time to tease passers-by, lest the snowplows arrive early.
The cold wind and the snow are companions, shouting and rushing passers-by, wantonly showing off their obscenity/power.
In the wind and snow, pedestrians cautiously walked forward and rushed to their respective jobs.
Today is the day when Kim Yoon-ho officially reported to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
Because he knew that there would be heavy snow today, he got up early in the morning and took the bus to work.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office is located in Pyeong-ro, Jung-gu, in the heart of Seoul, lined with Seoul Plaza and Seoul City Hall, and is conveniently located by Subway Line 1 and Line 22 nearby.
Kim Yoon-ho walked out of the subway station and walked for 5 minutes to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
Later, in front of the main building of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, I encountered 4 familiar humanoid snowmen.
Yin Guohong, Shin Donghae, Li Huina, and Song Eunzhi stood side by side in front of the building, looking up at something.
Kim Yun-ho looked down and found that several people were admiring the huge and spectacular logo on the front of the main building.
The emblem of the Prosecutor's Office is five straight lines, meaning the sword and the scale.
The five straight lines symbolize the rigidity of the bamboo, the juxtaposition of the straight lines represents the neutrality and independence of the procuratorate, the curve at the upper end represents the bottom of the scale, and the straight line in the middle represents a sword, symbolizing the impartiality and calm judgment of the procuratorate.
The five straight lines all have blue as the background color, only different shades, and they represent justice, truth, human rights, fairness, and integrity. These five terms are also the general outline of the code of conduct for prosecutors.
The emblems of swords and scales can be found everywhere in the prosecution system. This logo is hung on the outside of the branch office, the district prosecutor's office, and the high prosecutor's office. But a logo as big and impressive as it is in front of you. It can only be seen here.
He had been to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office not long ago, but he had been a passer-by for a short time and had not even entered the main building.
Unexpectedly, he came here again in the blink of an eye, and this time he became the master, and his mentality was very different.
"Now that I'm here, I'm not going to let anyone kick me out again! This will be my battleground! ”
Kim Yoon-ho secretly made a promise to the huge logo.
After a few glances, Kim Yun-ho lost interest in continuing to watch.
He came here to work and fight. There's no energy to waste on such boring things.
Kim Yoon-ho shouted to the 4-shaped snowmen: "Hurry up and get in, there are still a lot of things to do today!" ”
With that, he strode forward, followed by four snowmen.
……
Kim Yoon-ho has gone through many job procedures, but he still feels fresh when he joins this time.
It's not just a matter of mentality, it's mainly that the form of onboarding has changed a lot.
Before he officially joined the company and received his work permit, he had to stand in front of the badge and take the prosecutor's oath.
When he graduated from the Judicial Research and Training Institute and became a prosecutor, he took an oath and was no stranger to the contents.
What struck him as a novelty was. There is also this process before onboarding, which has never been encountered before.
Under the explanation of the staff. Kim Yoon-ho only understood the inside story.
When the Attorney General takes office, he or she will issue an inaugural declaration and a speech at the National Assembly and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, respectively.
Before joining the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, the Senior Prosecutor General and the Chief Public Prosecutor are required to make an inaugural declaration and a speech at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
The Prosecutor General is an important watershed moment in the position of Prosecutor, and it is above him that is the real leader.
The first-level procurator of the Central Investigation Department is the highest level of grassroots procurators, which can be regarded as half a leader.
To reflect the difference in leadership, prosecutors in the Central Investigation Department are required to make an inauguration declaration before joining the company, but they are not required to make a speech. So Kim Yunhao enjoyed a special treatment in a daze.
But this is just the beginning, there are more special treatments waiting for Kim Yoon-ho.
………
After the oath-taking, Kim Yoon-ho was introduced to the secretariat, and he was received by Lee Jae-hyun, the director of the affairs department.
Kim Yoon-ho is well aware of his current situation, and if he offends the president, he may lose his job at any time.
Therefore, he never expected that the level of the person who received him would be so high.
In fact, Kim Yun-ho thinks so because he doesn't understand the situation.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office has 10 main departments covering more than 20 branches, and the structure is unusually large.
However, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office has no more than 100 prosecutors, and the rest are ordinary civil servants.
Here, prosecutors are mainly responsible for handling cases, while a large number of civil servants are responsible for logistics. Both have their own division of labor, and in this division of labor, the prosecutor is in an absolute leadership position.
It can be said that the status and powers of ordinary prosecutors who serve here are much higher than those of most ministers.
Therefore, Lee Jae-hyun's reception of Kim Yoon-ho is completely reasonable and falls within the potential workplace regulations.
And Lee Jae-hyun has no complaints about receiving Kim Yoon-ho.
Kim Yoon-ho's offending of the president and when it will be over, none of this has anything to do with him.
As long as Kim Yun-ho is in power for one day, he will be respectful for one day, which is a workplace rule that cannot be violated.
In the secretariat, only the bureau chief and deputy director, who are also prosecutors, are qualified to embarrass Kim Yoon-ho, and he is not qualified as a minister with the status of an ordinary civil servant.
In order to help Kim Yun-ho understand the situation and integrate into the work more quickly, Lee Jae-hyun first respectfully introduced the basic personnel structure and organizational structure of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to Kim Yun-ho.
In terms of personnel, from top to bottom, they are: Attorney General; Press Spokesperson and Prosecutorial Research Officer; Undersecretary of Public Prosecutions; Senior Attorney General; Crime Intelligence Planning Officer; Criminal Policy Officer; International Cooperation Officer; Prosecutor.
The research officer is mainly responsible for formulating policies and regulations, and has little to do with the prosecutor, and the two are not subordinate to each other.
It's just that in terms of rank, the research officer is much higher than the prosecutor, and belongs to the subordinate officer of the chief.
Kim Yoon-ho only memorizes the basic information of his superiors such as the prosecutor general, and ignores the large number of research officers.
Anyway, there is basically no intersection between the two, and he can't afford to waste his brain capacity to understand those people.
Organizational structure: The Supreme Prosecutor's Office has 10 main departments.
There are 8 departments, including the Secretariat Bureau, the Planning Bureau, the Public Trial and Litigation Department, and the International Digital Science Center, ........
The above eight departments are mainly responsible for similar logistical support work, creating convenient conditions for the work of procurators.
The Ministry of Public Security and the Central Investigation Department are the two powerful departments of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. It is a household name in South Korea.
The Department of Public Security is mainly responsible for criminal and security cases. These include the Strong Section, the Criminal Section, and more.
(The Strong Section is mainly responsible for cases related to organized crime such as drugs and gangs.) )
Finally, there is Kim Yoon-ho's upcoming Central Search Department. It is also called the anti/corruption/corruption department.
The Central Investigation Department is a department set up for the purpose of in-depth analysis of social pathological phenomena and the eradication of corrupt practices.
It consists of: Investigation Command Section; Investigational Support Division.
Investigation Command Section: Responsible for directing and supervising criminal cases committed by public officials such as civil servants and employees of state-owned enterprises, as well as financial and high-tech crimes, and cases ordered by the Procurator General.
In addition, the Investigation Command Division also handles information related to criminal cases transferred by other agencies.
It can be seen from the judicial interpretation that the power of the Investigation Command Section is so great that it is unimaginable.
The prosecutor is the king of investigations, and the prosecutors of the Investigation Command Section are the king of kings.
For all government officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises in South Korea, the prosecutor of the Investigation Command Division of the Central Investigation Department is the one who cannot be offended. Not one of them.
If you offend your boss, you can't be promoted and you can't die. But if you are targeted by the prosecutor of the Investigation Command Section, it often means that you will be imprisoned, and even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin, which is very terrifying.
In contrast, the prosecutor of the South Korean Command Section has more power than the Central Committee/Discipline Inspection Commission in China.
It has all the rights that the Central Committee/Commission for Discipline Inspection/Commission has, and it also has rights that the Central Committee/Commission for Discipline Inspection/Commission does not have.
Corresponding to the right to terror. The Investigation and Command Division has made great achievements in the fight against corruption in South Korean political circles. The list of major and important cases he has investigated is innumerable.
Perhaps the most well-known of these are the corruption cases of former South Korean presidents Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, as well as the recently deceased former President Roh Moo-hyun for allegedly violating the Political Contribution Act during the 2002 presidential election.
It is through the investigation and handling of major political cases. The Reconnaissance Command Section has a wide reputation in Korea.
However, there is a misunderstanding here, the Investigation Command Section is the main part of the Central Investigation Department, and it is its subordinate department, but it is not the whole thing. Many Koreans mistakenly believe that the Reconnaissance Command Division is the Central Investigation Department, which is wrong.
The Central Search Department also has another obscure section: the Investigative Support Section.
Investigation Support Division: Investigative assistance to the Investigation Command Division, handling work related to the recovery and recovery of proceeds of crime, and international investigative assistance.
To some extent, the Support Section is an ancillary section of the Command Section and provides high-level logistics.
In the prosecution system, many people refer to the Prosecutor of the Support Section as a subordinate officer of the Prosecutor of the Command Section.
It is not wrong to call it so, but the reality is that the latter has a great deal of command and jurisdiction over the former.
Kim Yoon-ho is about to take up the post of the Support Section of the Central Search Department, which is a subordinate officer of the Command Section.
But don't underestimate this position, its power is also much, much greater than that of other prosecutors. After all, many times, the prosecutor of the command section will also undertake part of the investigation work, and temporarily make a cameo appearance as the prosecutor of the investigation command section.
As for the higher position in the command section, it is something that Kim Yun-ho does not dare to hope for at the moment.
And even if Li Mingbo wants to kill Kim Yunhao, he will not touch him to such a high and important position.
After all, the prosecutor of the command section can directly investigate the president without reporting to anyone.
Li Mingbo is not stupid, he doesn't want Kim Yunhao to him again.
And it would be more appropriate to promote Kim Yoon-ho to the position of the support department.
There is a prosecutor in the command section above Kim Yoon-ho, and there will be no accidents.
If others want to stumble on Kim Yoon-ho, it will be easy for them to do so through the prosecutor of the Support Division.
In addition, the Command Section has only six prosecutors on staff, which is not a place where people can be placed at will.
Correspondingly, the Support Section has 12 prosecutors on staff, which is more convenient for the placement of personnel.
After listening to Lee Jae-hyun's detailed introduction, Kim Yun-ho had a preliminary understanding of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
At the same time, he also learned about the main joints and the stakes.
Kim Yoon-ho's mood was no longer so relaxed and became a little dignified.
There was an inexplicable extra superior above, which made him very embarrassed, and the key was that some plans could not be implemented for the time being. (To be continued.) )
