(브레이크뉴스인천 박상도 기자) 검찰개혁추진단(단장 : 윤창렬 국무조정실장 겸임, 이하 추진단)은 올해 10월 예정인 중대범죄수사청(이하 중수청)과 공소청의 출범을 위해 중대범죄수사청법안 및 공소청법안에 대한 수정안을 마련하여 24일부터 26일까지 2일간 재입법예고를 실시한다.
정부는 지난 1월 중대범죄수사청법안 및 공소청법안의 입법예고를 실시하였으며, 국회·국민 등 각계에서 제시된 의견을 수렴해 재입법예고안을 마련했다.
특히, 여당에서 공청회, 정책의총 등을 거쳐 전달한 의견을 최대한 반영했다.
수정된 주요 사항은 다음과 같다.
○ 중대범죄수사청법안
현재 검찰청의 수사개시 대상에 비해 중수청의 수사범위가 넓고, 다른 수사기관과의 수사범위 중복이 우려된다는 지적을 수용하여, 중수청의 수사대상을 9개에서 6개로 축소(공직자·선거·대형참사범죄 제외)했다.
수사사법관과 전문수사관으로 구분하여 설계한 인력체계 이원화는 그 필요성에 비해 여러 부작용이 우려된다는 지적을 수용하여 수사관 단일직급체계로 일원화했다.
다만, 초기 이동하는 검찰 인력에 한해서는 기존 봉급·정년 등을 보장하고, 상당계급의 수사관으로 임용될 수 있도록 부칙에 규정했다.
중수청장의 경우, 변호사 자격을 보유하지 않더라도, 수사 및 법률 업무에 15년 이상 재직한 사람이라면 자격을 갖출 수 있도록 요건을 완화하였다.
○ 공소청법안
종전에는 탄핵 또는 금고 이상의 형 선고로만 검사를 파면할 수 있었으나, 검사의 징계 종류에 ‘파면’을 추가하여 징계처분으로도 검사를 파면할 수 있도록 했다.
직무집행 관련 부당한 행위가 있는 경우, 검사의 사법경찰관리 등에 대한 교체 임용요구 조문이 ‘해당 수사에서 배제’하는 조치임을 명확히 하기 위하여 ‘교체임용’을 ‘직무배제’로, 요구대상자를 ‘임용권자’에서 ‘소속 기관장’으로 각 수정했다.
국민에 대한 책임성을 강화하고자 한 국가공무원법 개정 방향에 맞춰 상급자의 지휘ㆍ감독의 적법성 또는 정당성에 대하여 이의를 제기한 검사에게 이의제기를 이유로 한 불이익한 처분이나 대우를 하여서는 아니된다는 점을 명문으로 규정했다.
추진단은 재입법예고한 법안이 신속하게 입법 될 수 있도록 노력하고 공소청과 중수청이 기한 내 성공적으로 출범할 수 있도록 관련 후속 조치와 관계법률 개정안 마련도 차질 없이 추진할 계획이다.

Re-legislation notice for the Serious Crimes Investigation Service Act and the Public Prosecution Service Act is underway.
Serious Crimes Investigation Service Act: Reduction of the scope of investigation by the Serious Crimes Investigation Service from nine to six crimes, etc.; Public Prosecution Service Act: Addition of dismissal as a type of disciplinary action against prosecutors, etc.
-Break News Incheon Park Sang-do Reporter
The Prosecution Reform Promotion Team (Director: Yoon Chang-ryeol, concurrently serving as Director of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, hereinafter referred to as the Promotion Team) will hold a two-day re-legislation notice from the 24th to the 26th to prepare amendments to the Serious Crimes Investigation Service Act and the Public Prosecution Service Act for the launch of the Serious Crimes Investigation Service (hereinafter referred to as the Serious Crimes Investigation Service) and the Public Prosecution Service, scheduled for October of this year.
In January, the government conducted a legislative notice for the Serious Crimes Investigation Service Act and the Public Prosecution Service Act. After gathering feedback from the National Assembly, the public, and various sectors, the government prepared a revised draft.
In particular, the ruling party's opinions, delivered through public hearings and policy meetings, were fully reflected.
The key amendments are as follows:
○ Serious Crimes Investigation Service Act
In response to concerns that the Serious Crimes Investigation Service's scope of investigations is broader than those currently covered by the Prosecutors' Office and that there are concerns about overlapping with other investigative agencies, the Serious Crimes Investigation Service's scope of investigations was reduced from nine to six (excluding crimes involving public officials, elections, and major disasters).
The dual personnel system, which initially divided the personnel into investigative judges and specialist investigators, was criticized for its perceived negative consequences. Consequently, the system was unified into a single rank system for investigators.
However, for prosecutors initially transferred, existing salaries and retirement age will be guaranteed, and the supplementary provisions stipulate that they can be appointed as investigators of comparable rank.
For the head of the Central Investigation Office, the qualifications have been relaxed to allow anyone with at least 15 years of experience in investigative and legal affairs to be eligible, even if they are not licensed as a lawyer.
○ Public Prosecutors' Office Act
Previously, prosecutors could only be dismissed by impeachment or a sentence of imprisonment or heavier punishment. However, "dismissal" has been added to the list of disciplinary actions, allowing for disciplinary action as well.
The provision requiring prosecutors to replace judicial police officers and other officials in cases of improper conduct related to the performance of their duties has been revised to clarify that the measure is "exclusion from the relevant investigation." The term "replacement" has been changed to "exclusion from duty," and the target of the request has been changed from "appointing authority" to "head of the affiliated agency."
In line with the direction of the revision of the National Civil Service Act, which aims to strengthen public accountability, the law explicitly stipulates that prosecutors who raise objections to the legality or legitimacy of their superiors' orders and supervision shall not be subject to any disadvantageous treatment or punishment for raising such objections.
The task force will strive to expedite the enactment of the bills previously announced for re-enactment. It will also proactively pursue follow-up measures and draft amendments to related laws to ensure the successful launch of the Public Prosecutors' Office and the Central Investigation Office within the deadline.
