Today, the South Korean Constitutional Court gave its verdict that the establishment of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials is constitutional.
The Korean Constitutional Court's ruling provides constitutional grounds for the continuation of the controversial agency's existence. The Court also mentioned that "It is hard to prove the validity of the constitutional challenge the establishment of the CIO… The CIO is an investigative body included within the rights of the executive branch of the government."
The Constitutional Court's appeal to challenge the CIO's legal grounds was made last year when the conservative opposition party claimed that the passing of the CIO act would grant excessive investigative authority that bypasses the due process set forth by the constitution.
However, the Constitutional Court's vindication of the establishment of the CIO clears CIO from further constitutional challenges and will accelerate the CIO's development.
Where do we draw the line for investigative authority? What are your thoughts?
