The Seoul Metropolitan Agency’s Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Team announced on the 20th that it had decided to dismiss the allegations relating to former CEO Lee. This is because the 7-year prescription for mediation under the Aggravated Penalty Act for Specific Offenses has already passed and cannot be prosecuted.
Former CEO Lee was accused of receiving various types of entertainment until about 2015, including two sexual payments in 2013. The Garosero Research Institute, which raised such suspicions, filed a lawsuit against Lee in December last year.
IKAIST CEO Kim Seong-jin, accused of providing sexual favors to Lee, also said Lee received money and entertainment, including sexual favors, and arranged a meeting with former President Park Geun-hye in return.
The police also acquitted Kim of having given Lee a Chuseok gift worth 200,000 won in September 2015. The holiday gifts are made for the purpose of “maintaining relationships”, so it is difficult to enforce the “global crime” that it is seen as a crime with previous entertainment.
However, investigations into allegations that former President Lee sought to dispel allegations of sexual harassment through former party leader Kim Cheol-geun and Kang Shin’s pursuit of former President Lee’s innocence -up, Kim’s lawyer, they should continue.
