South Korea’s ruling Democratic Party intends to swiftly process legislation regarding the transfer of all cases related to seven major crimes to the prosecution. This bill aims to mitigate potential negative consequences stemming from the recent abolition of the police’s investigative authority. The "seven major crimes" include corruption, economic crimes, violent crimes, drug-related offenses, military crimes, and large-scale disasters. Party officials have stated they will prioritize the bill’s passage, aiming for completion as soon as possible. The move follows concerns that limiting police investigative powers could hinder investigations into serious offenses. Opponents argue the bill may unduly expand the prosecution's authority and weaken checks and balances. The legislation is currently under review by the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
