The 'Police Investigation Reform Committee for Enhancing Public Trust' has welcomed Professor Lee Yoon-je from Myongji University, a former prosecutor, as a new member.
The committee announced on the 7th that it appointed Professor Lee as an additional member on the 6th. He attended a meeting with the National Sexual Violence Counseling Center on the same day in his capacity as a committee member.
After serving as a prosecutor, Professor Lee transitioned to academia, focusing on criminal justice research. He was a member of the first Justice and Prosecutorial Reform Committee during the Moon Jae-in administration and served as a special prosecutor in the investigation related to the December 3 martial law case under former President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The reform committee was established on June 27 in response to allegations of inadequate investigations and collusion stemming from the Jang Yoon-ki case. It is discussing measures to improve the fairness and accountability of police investigations, as well as strategies for implementing a new investigative framework following amendments to the criminal procedure law.
