South Korea's Constitutional Court accepts impeachment motion against Minister of Justice and Commissioner General of the National Police Agency...7th case so far this year

On the 12th, the Constitutional Court of South Korea accepted the impeachment motions against Justice Minister Park Seong-jae and National Police Agency Commissioner General Cho Ji-ho, which were passed by the National Assembly. This marks the 10th impeachment motion accepted this year.
The total number of cases is now seven. In addition to the two impeachment charges, the Korea Communications Commission Chairperson Lee Jin-sook, the Board of Audit and Inspection Chief Choi Jae-hae, and the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Chief Lee Chang-soo are also under investigation.
Impeachment motions against the head of the National Assembly, former prosecutor Cho Sang-won, and prosecutor Choi Jae-hoon have also been submitted to the Constitutional Court.
This number is almost the total number of impeachment cases that have been filed in the past (7 cases). In addition, the impeachment motion against Prosecutor Son Jun-seong, which was accepted last year, is also on hold and will have to be reviewed by the Constitutional Court in the future.
The number of impeachment motions that cannot be filed is expected to reach eight. If the impeachment motions against President Yoon Seok-yeol and other prosecutors are passed in the National Assembly, the number may increase further.
The Constitutional Court plans to appoint a presiding judge through electronic allocation and begin the hearing. Impeachment cases are immediately referred to the full court without prior review.
In addition, because the Criminal Procedure Law applies mutatis mutandis, all arguments are in principle open to the public, and the Constitutional Court can summon and question those involved as witnesses.
It is also possible to inquire into facts and order the production of documents.
