The government has revised bills on the establishment of two bodies set to replace the prosecution following criticism they were designed to be little different from the current prosecution service, a task force said Tuesday. The so-called serious crimes investigation agency and the indictment agency are set to be established in October under a government reorganization bill that passed the National Assembly last September. The two bodies will replace the prosecution office and take on its investigative and indictment powers, respectively, as part of the Lee Jae Myung administration's drive to address longstanding criticism that the prosecution has abused its exclusive powers by carrying out politically motivated investigations. Under the initial bills unveiled last month, the investigation agency was tasked with investigating nine major types of crimes, including corruption and insurrection. The corresponding revised bill, however, reduces the number to six, excluding crimes involving public officials, elections and large-scale disasters, to reflect concerns that the scope was too large
