Justice Minister Jeong Seong-ho expressed his intention to resign after the abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigative power was confirmed. As the Democratic Party pushed for the indictment of all seven major crimes and the continuation of supplementary investigations by the Central Investigation Department, Minister Jeong stated his position to step down citing reasons such as victim protection issues. Acting Prosecutor General Koo Ja-hyun is also facing a decision on her future, and if both individuals resign, difficulties are anticipated in responding to the aftermath of the prosecution's abolition following the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act. The legal community expresses concerns about insufficient protection measures for victims of cases other than the seven major crimes and raises doubts regarding the role and stability of the Central Investigation Department.
