Discussions are actively underway within the Democratic Party of Korea regarding the abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigative powers. Positions advocating for the complete abolition of supplementary investigative powers and those arguing for partial retention are clashing, with the possibility of a compromise being raised at the general assembly. Women's violence victim support groups have expressed concerns that amendments to the Criminal Procedure Act could lead to violations of victims' rights. On the other hand, some lawmakers have raised questions about the police's investigative capabilities and are calling for the complete abolition of supplementary investigative powers. The Democratic Party announced that it will gather opinions on the amendment bill to the Criminal Procedure Act at a general assembly on the 14th.
