[서울=뉴스핌] Reporter Park Seong-jun = President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is visiting the United States, approved a request for consent to the arrest of Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 19th. An arrest warrant has been requested for CEO Lee due to ‘suspicion of preferential treatment for the Baekhyeon-dong development project’ and ‘suspicion of Ssangbangwool Group remittances to North Korea’.
According to the President’s Office, President Yoon, who was visiting New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly, approved the request for consent to arrest Representative Lee.

If the Ministry of Justice requests consent to arrest from the National Assembly, according to the National Assembly Act, the Speaker of the National Assembly must report it at the first plenary session after receiving the request for consent to arrest, and submit it to a vote ‘within 72 hours after 24 hours’ from the time of the report.
It is expected that the Ministry of Justice will request consent for the arrest from the National Assembly sometime today. It is highly likely that a vote will be held on the 21st following the report to the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 20th.
