Acting prosecution chief says 'deeply reflects' on prosecution's wrongdoings

SEOUL, Sept. 8 (Yonhap) -- Acting Prosecutor General Noh Man-seok said Monday the prosecution "deeply reflects" on its wrongdoings, referring to the government's plan to dismantle the prosecution service.

Noh made the remarks on his way to work when he was asked by reporters about the government reform plan, which calls for dismantling the prosecution's existing headquarters and creating two new agencies to separately take on the prosecution's indictment and investigative powers.

"The prosecution service, as stipulated in the Constitution, is at risk of being renamed by law. But we're deeply reflecting on this, as all of this is due to the wrongdoings of the prosecution," Noh said.

He then expressed his hope that the future details of the prosecution reform would be designed from the people's standpoint.

The government and the ruling Democratic Party intend to pass the government reform bills through the National Assembly on Sept. 25.
