Regarding the controversy over the abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigative rights sparked by the Jang Yoon-ki incident, the Democratic Party of Korea said on the 11th, "We are well aware that there are voices of concern," and "We will definitely prepare a thorough supplementary plan to prevent the public from suffering damage." Lee Joo-hee, the Democratic Party's floor spokesperson, said in a written briefing this morning, "In addition, the Democratic Party's Criminal Procedure Act Revision Task Force (TF) proposed on the 9th of this month a revision to the Criminal Procedure Act that abolishes the prosecutor's right to direct supplementary investigation and strengthens the right to request a supplementary investigation." Lee said, "The amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act is not a simple abolition of authority," and "It substantiates the right to request supplementary investigation, the right to take corrective action, and the right to request a re-investigation to strengthen the investigative agency." He explained, “It is designed to closely monitor and keep in check.” He also said, “We will carefully review the Legislation and Judiciary Committee review process to ensure that the people do not suffer disadvantages or damages, and prepare thorough complementary measures.” He also said to the People Power Party, “Please return to the Legislative and Judiciary Committee, which was left empty under the pretext of forming a single committee, and work on reviewing the bill responsibly.” He added, “If there are concerns about the amendment, review the bill by the National Assembly.”
