President Lee Orders Probe into Prosecutors Walkout in Own Case

President Lee Orders Investigation into Prosecutors' Walkout

President Lee has called for a formal investigation into the recent walkout by prosecutors involved in a case connected to him. This move has sparked controversy, as opposition parties accuse the president of abusing his power by targeting an investigation related to himself.

Opposition Claims Abuse of Power

Opponents argue that President Lee's directive to investigate the prosecutors' actions reflects an attempt to interfere with judicial independence. They claim this undermines the rule of law and shifts focus away from the investigation into his own case.

"The president is using his authority to intimidate prosecutors and obstruct justice," said a leading opposition figure.

Context of the Prosecutors' Walkout

The prosecutors staged a walkout amid allegations that President Lee may have influenced or obstructed aspects of an ongoing investigation tied to his personal or political activities. The president's decision to order a probe into their walkout intensifies an already sensitive political and legal dispute.

The situation illustrates the tension between executive power and prosecutorial independence in a case involving the nation's highest office.
