Mr. Choi reported him to the police, but the police investigation was slow and passive.
It is said that there are numerous cases that are endlessly delayed or ended absurdly without proper investigation. The reporter met with a veteran investigator with 20 years of experience and heard directly about the controversy related to the current police investigative power.
Experts cited the lack of preparation and adjustment of prosecutorial and police investigative powers in 2021 as the cause of the weakening of police investigative power.
With the adjustment of investigative authority, the police, as the person in charge of the investigation, has the authority to terminate the investigation.
This also means that the investigation of economic crimes, which was largely handled by the prosecution, has been shifted to the burden of the police.
