Lee Jae-myeong, representative of the Democratic Party, decided to appear on the 28th in response to the prosecution’s request for summons related to the ‘suspicion of preferential treatment for the development of Daejang-dong’. On the 10th, CEO Lee was questioned again after 18 days of appearing at the prosecution for suspicion of sponsoring Seongnam FC. Representative Lee is in the position that the prosecution’s investigation is ‘political oppression’, but it is interpreted that he made a decision to appear at the prosecution to reduce the pretext for an arrest motion to be submitted to the National Assembly.
Representative Lee visited the Mangwon Market in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 18th and said, “The prosecution is exercising that power with formal power. They asked me to come again, who did nothing wrong, so I will go.”
Representative Lee confirmed the schedule to attend the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-dong at 10:30 am on the 28th. On the 27th, when the prosecution originally requested an appearance, it was not accepted. He said, “The prosecution will have nothing to do with the accumulation of US cases because they are manipulating political retaliation cases and eliminating political opponents, but I have to do state affairs and party duties.”
Representative Lee criticized the prosecutors, saying, “History will evaluate some political prosecutors who abuse their powers of prosecution for personal gain while covering up crimes they are making as well as crimes they don’t have.”
It is interpreted that Representative Lee chose to break through the ‘judicial risk’ head-on while making a sudden decision to attend. A party official explained, “I made the decision with the feeling of entering the tiger’s den because it is obvious that the prosecution will request an arrest warrant if Lee does not appear.”
It is said that the pro-Lee Jae-myung top members held back Lee’s appearance at the prosecution at a closed supreme committee meeting. Ahn Ho-young, chief spokesman, said, “There is a lot of atmosphere saying that we should not respond lightly to the prosecution’s reckless violence.”
However, the majority of lawmakers remained silent, and there is an atmosphere in the party that wants Representative Lee to attend. One first-time lawmaker said, “It is a burden to attack that the power of the people is the’Bulletproof National Assembly’ because Representative Lee is absent.”
Representative Lee decided not to accompany the leadership and lawmakers to the second prosecution appearance. Representative Lee said, “I hope that members of the National Assembly will be faithful to their party duties and state affairs,” and “I will stand up proudly.”
Democratic Party Leadership “Kim Kun-hee Investigation”
Issue of ‘violation of equity’ before the Lunar New Year
The leadership is keenly aware of the public sentiment surrounding the judicial risk of representative Lee. The fairness of the prosecution’s investigation is also being raised as an issue, urging the investigation of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s spouse, Kim Gun-hee, on a daily basis in connection with Deutsche Motors’ stock price manipulation. One top member said, “CEO Lee, who proudly appeared before the prosecution at the New Year’s table, and Mrs. Kim Kun-hee, whom the prosecution did not even summon, will appear at the same time.”
Representative Lee actively refuted the suspicion of Daejang-dong and started a public opinion campaign. He is KBS <뉴스 9>Appearing on the show, he said, “I think it’s crazy if (the prosecution) prosecutes for paying attorney’s fees.” In addition, he said, “Daejang-dong distorted the existing facts and called it breach of trust, and Seongnam FC linked advertising sales with civil complaints from local companies, but there is no fact (true) about paying lawyer fees.” She repeatedly insisted that she had never seen former Ssangbangul Group chairman Kim Seong-tae, who was suspected of non-payment of lawyers.
