The National Assembly of South Korea passed a revision of the Criminal Procedure Act on the 31st, abolishing prosecutors' investigative powers, including their right to conduct supplementary investigations. This marks the biggest change in the judicial system since the Criminal Procedure Act was enacted in 1954. The vote result was 175 in favor, 2 against, and 1 abstention. Acting Prosecutor General Lee Jae-yun and acting Prosecutor General Kim Ja-hyeon both resigned in response to the passage of the bill.
