Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung said he would exercise the command of the investigation, which had been deprived, if an appeal was filed against Kim Gun-hee's alleged manipulation of Deutsche Motors' stock price.

However, it is still unclear whether the conclusion will change, and some point out whether the belated exercise of command will be effective.

The National Audit of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office was followed by the aftermath of Kim Gun-hee's non-prosecution.

President Shim Woo-jung hinted at restoring the command of the investigation into the Deutsche Motors case.

[Lee Kun-tae / Democratic Party member: Please lead and prosecute the stock price manipulation case and the luxury white goods case.]

[Shim Woo-jung / Prosecutor General: The fact that I can't tell you my personal opinion about the results of the investigation is that an appeal is scheduled. If the appeal is made, I will exercise the right to command the investigation....]

As it was the investigation of Kim at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the Southern District Prosecutors' Office that deprived then Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae of command,
If the case is transferred to the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office due to the appeal of
, it can be re-directed.

As former lawmaker Choi Kang-wook, the accuser of the Deutsche Motors case, predicted an appeal,
If the investigation team of the
Central District Prosecutors' Office determines that there is a problem with the investigation team, it is expected that Chief Shim will be able to order a comeback investigation or a prosecution.

However, some point out that even if President Shim belatedly directs the investigation into the case four and a half years ago, it is questionable whether he will be able to produce results that can shake off the criticism that it is a poor investigation.

President Shim expressed his opposition to the Democratic Party's plan to impeach the command,

[Song Seok-joon / People's Power: What kind of problems will arise after the impeachment decision is made?.]

[Shim Woo-jung / Prosecutor General: If impeached, the execution of his duties will be suspended during the impeachment trial, even if it is later dismissed. Then, you will have a disadvantage that you cannot wash up as a prosecutor.Regarding the allegation that the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office gave a "false briefing" regarding the request for a search warrant for Mrs. Kim,

, they said they knew it as a "simple communication error."

When Mrs. Kim, who was adopted as a witness, did not attend, the Judiciary Committee issued an order to accompany her.

The members of the Democratic Party of Korea's judiciary committee visited Hannam-dong's official residence, but the delivery of the accompanying order was canceled.
