He said, “We have witnessed firsthand the consequences when investigative agencies fail to maintain political neutrality and lose public trust,” adding, “The inauguration ceremony took place six days after the launch of the SCIA.”.
He pledged a “stable launch without investigative gaps,” “investigations that only the SuwonSCIA can conduct,” and “fair investigations,” adding, “There will undoubtedly be shortcomings in the early stages of our launch.
Currently, some within the Democratic Party are considering transforming the CIO from a direct investigative agency into one that supervises the SCIA, Prosecution Service, courts, and other entities.
I am sorry that the reality is such that I have no choice but to ask for the understanding and apologize to the citizens who expect from the SCIA and the SCIA investigators who made difficult decisions to wait.”.
He added, “Although the abolition of the prosecution office and the establishment of the SCIA have brought significant changes to our criminal justice and investigation systems, there can be no deviation from the principles of criminal proceedings.
... for the ‘complete deprivation of the prosecution’s investigative powers.’ Political power is also a target of SCIA investigations, and the SCIA director must have a firm awareness of independence.
