[앵커]

It was found that the prosecution had recently started tracking the accounts of Lee Jae-myeong, the representative of the Democratic Party, and people around him.

It is resolved as a dimension to look to see if there is anything suspicious in the cash flow.

The prosecution, which has been able to continue investigating Jeong Jin-sang, head of the Political Coordination Office, who is in custody due to the dismissal of the arrest warrant, is expected to seriously investigate the connection with Lee.

It is known that the prosecution has recently started tracking the accounts of Lee Jae-myeong, the representative of the Democratic Party, and his family.

It seems that Jeong Jin-sang, the head of the Political Coordination Office, or Kim Yong, the former vice president of the Democracy Institute, considered the possibility that the money received by the Daejang-dong gang could have flowed to Lee’s side .

In this regard, the prosecution called in and investigated informant A, who disclosed the suspected misuse of the corporate card by Lee’s wife, Kim Hye-kyung, as an address.

It is known to Mr. And stated in the prosecution’s investigation that he saw Mr Bae, Lee’s assistant, come out of Lee’s house with a paper bag full of cash in June last year.

I heard that the amount about 100 to 200 million was won, and Mr. A testified that the money was deposited into a bank account in the name of CEO Lee.

Representative Lee’s side strongly refutes that it is a malicious allegation, saying that only a deposit and mother’s sympathy money were found in his bank account, but the prosecution pays attention to the time when the money was deposit

Former Deputy Director Kim is suspected of receiving 800 million won in illegal political money from lawyer Nam Wook in collusion with Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation’s Planning Department.

With the observation that the mandatory investigation of Lee was not far off, the prosecution’s claim to arrest Lee was rejected, and the prosecution retained the justification to target Lee directly.

As the court recognized the need to arrest again, Chief Chung remained in the detention center, but all of the Daejang-dong gang, who were arrested a year ago, were released because the detention period ended.

Man-bae Kim, the last major shareholder of Hwacheon Dae-yu, who was last released, has kept his mouth shut, leaving only a brief statement immediately after his release, unlike former general manager Yoo and’ Nam’s lawyer.

Although he is sorry, it is read to the effect that Mr Kim still denies the accusations, as he adds the condition of ‘Leave legal judgement’.

However, it is known that the prosecution secured Mr Kim’s statement regarding the Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1 dividend.

The prosecution is said to have written in the arrest warrant for Chief Jung that Mr Kim denied some of the crimes, but admitted to discussing the method and rate of giving Cheonhwa Dongin’s No. 1 dividend to Lee’s aides.

Of course, Chief Jung’s side is in the position that the prosecution’s claim is false, just a statement close to a ‘bluff’, but interest is growing whether Kim will spill bombshell comments related to the stake in Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1 in the first trial to attend without reservation.
