Yoo Dong-gyu, the former head of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, who revealed he handed over the presidential election funds to Kim Yong, a close associate of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, still spoke today.
He said there were several chat rooms of Lee Jae-myung’s closest aides in the cell phone he threw away at the time of the search and kidnapping last year and that he presented all the evidence retained to the prosecution.
Reporter Son Gu-min covered the story.
◀ Report ▶
Last September, when prosecutors broke into the house, Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of the Seongnam Urban Development Division, threw his cell phone from the ninth floor window.
It was the last phone call I had with Jeong Jin-sang, head of the Political Affairs Coordination Bureau, and Kim Yong-yong, who are the closest associates of Lee Jae-myung, president of the Democratic Party of Korea.
Former general manager Yoo met with reporters and said on the phone telegram at the time: “There were separate chat rooms such as the department heads meeting, the government business room and the legal team.”
Jinsang Jeong, head of the department, and Yong Yong Kim, deputy director, are likely to have attended.
“I don’t know if you think it cleared the evidence, but not all of the tracks were cleared,” he said.
He didn’t reveal what was in the cloud, but he said, “You and the others will be punished for what you will be punished for.”
Prosecutors have summoned the detained deputy director, Yong Kim, for five consecutive days to investigate the relationship with former director general Yoo.
In 2005, when the two engaged in activities related to the renovation of apartments, up to the Daejang-dong project, we studied the relationship between the two.
Deputy Director Kim refused to testify, saying, “The prosecution is conducting unreasonable investigations without even giving the date on which it received political funds.”
A prosecution official said: “Refusal to make a statement is also a right of the suspect” and said: “We have sufficient evidence.”
It is also known that he insured a purse or envelope with money.
The first detention period for Deputy Director Kim expires tomorrow and the prosecution plans to extend the detention period by ten days.
