‘검-언-정’ 엘리트 카르텔은 지치지 않는다 [아침햇발]

The elite cartel of prosecutors, known as the '검-언-정' cartel, is not giving up despite the loss of all investigative powers from the criminal investigation law, according to a report. They continue to persevere, as they have proven to be adept at manipulating public opinion through the use of media and experts. Among them, the prosecutors hold the strongest power, as they can control the targets and tactics for the organization's benefit in every situation.

Even in the face of lies, manipulation, and coercion, they are not deterred. The '부산 돌려차기 사건', where evidence tampering was exposed during a school sex crime trial, was initially promoted as a successful case, but now the prosecutors argue for retaining the scientific investigation bureau for criminal investigations. They assert that the current state of affairs, where investigators cannot use evidence found without their own investigative powers, necessitates the existence of such an organization.

The '고발사주 사건' and the judge's chambers case have also demonstrated the political nature of these cases. The prosecutors' insistence on maintaining their powers raises concerns about the potential for political intervention in the judicial process. However, the move to reform the criminal investigation system by separating investigation and prosecution has the potential to weaken the cartel's grip on power, making it a significant step towards progress.
