Suspicions of intervention in the appointment are the subject of an investigation by the public prosecutor’s office for two consecutive days.

After yesterday, today he completely denied suspicions of nominating a high-quality candidate.

I’ll put you in touch with a journalist.

Journalist Lim Hyung-joon and former lawmaker Kim are under investigation by the prosecution, right?

Yes, former MP Kim went to the Changwon District Prosecutor’s Office around 10:10 a.m. today.

Before the investigation, former lawmaker Kim repeatedly denied her allegations, saying Kang Hye-kyung, who was in charge of accounting, was responsible for the alleged violation of the political fund law.

Let’s hear from former lawmaker Kim.

(Kim Young-sun / All People’s Power: Kang Hye-kyung is an accountant, so she has full power over political funds.)

Today’s investigation is the second since former MP Kim became a suspect.

Yesterday we were under investigation for almost 12 hours.

Kim confirmed yesterday that the money transferred to Myung Tae-kyun amounted to 60 million won after he was elected in Changwon’s Uichang district in the 2022 by-election.

The prosecution suspects that former lawmaker Kim received money in return after asking Myung to nominate him.

He was therefore a reference last June, but this time he is investigating as a suspect.

However, former lawmaker Kim has denied these allegations, so let’s listen.

(Kim Young-sun / All People’s Power: I was told to repay what I received in cash and what I received in my bank account. I have witnesses and proof.)

Kang Hye-kyung, who was previously an accounting manager, claimed during a parliamentary audit that Myung was appointed by former lawmaker Kim in exchange for “illegal polls” for Yoon Suk Yeol in the last presidential election.

As a result, Myung was appointed by the president and his wife to replace former lawmaker Kim and handed over the money in exchange, which Kim refuted.

The prosecution is expected to soon bring in Myung, a key part of the allegation, to investigate.
