Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl on Wednesday denounced the ruling bloc’s push to create a new separate investigation agency, warning the move will lead to a “situation where corruption becomes more rampant.”
Some observers say the top prosecutor’s strong criticism against the establishment of a new investigation agency suggests that Yoon might be planning to run for the presidency.
However, Yoon avoided answering questions about whether he is planning to enter politics after his term ends, saying, “This is not the right place to talk about it.” He did not respond to the possibility of resignation.
