This time, let’s see how the prosecutor’s investigation in this case is progressing.
Yesterday, four days after the massive search and seizure by the prosecution, Kang Rae-gu, a key figure in fundraising and delivery, was called in and investigated by former Korea Water Resources Corporation auditor.
We connect reporters out of the prosecutor’s office.
Reporter Sohn Gu-min, it seems that the summons of key officials took place earlier than expected, but the speed of the investigation was quite fast, right?

Yes, today it was found out that the investigation schedule for the people involved in the delivery of the funds was set, but it has not been confirmed whether the actual investigation was conducted according to this schedule.
It is because the prosecution is extremely sparing and silent.
From the massive search and seizure to the investigation of key figures, it took only four days.
It is said that the cell phone recording of former Vice-Chancellor Lee Jung-geun and key evidence came out, and that much of the factual relationship was identified through former Vice-Chancellor Lee, who was arrested for personal corruption.
The prosecution is speeding up the investigation, but the atmosphere is more concerned about security than ever.
Yesterday, Kang Rae-gu asked several times whether to investigate the former auditor of Korea Water Resources Corporation, but he avoided answering until late in the evening.
The fact that MBC and other media outlets secured a search warrant and revealed the identity and charges of the target of the investigation.
Also, it would be burdensome that the political world could launch an offensive for oppression of the opposition or media play.

The Democratic Party publicly asked former CEO Song Young-gil to return to Korea today, and former CEO Song also said he would reveal his position on the weekend.

Yes, one of the investigation schedules scheduled for today was the investigation of Song Young-gil, former CEO Park’s aide.
Even if the investigation did not take place today, he is one of the key figures that the prosecution must investigate.
Prosecutors believe that the 60 million won delivered to the National Assembly member, that is, the money that was passed over twice, 30 million won each, went through aide Park.
In addition, it is said that the contents of the conversation on the cell phone of former Vice-President Lee Jung-geun, which seemed to report the transfer of money to Assistant Park, were also secured.
If Assistant Park was aware of the money delivery process, whether he reported this to former CEO Song Young-gil, an investigation seems inevitable.
The prosecution is said to have already confirmed the process by which former auditor Kang Rae-goo raised money from subcontractors of construction companies in Daejeon.
If you follow the money raised, the final recipients, incumbent lawmakers and camp officials will come out.
Prosecutors are sparing their words, saying, ″We have not yet identified the lawmakers who received the money, we are in the process of confirming it.
So far, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office has delivered.
