In the first trial of Lee Jae-myung, former vice president of the Democratic Research Institute for Democracy and a close associate of the Democratic Party of Korea, prosecutors released a memo stating that illegal political funds were delivered as evidence. Former vice president Kim, who is suspected of receiving illegal presidential campaign funds and bribes, has completely denied the charges.
In the first trial held on the 7th at the hearing of the 23rd Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Cho Byeong-gu), the prosecution submitted a memo titled ‘lee list (Golf)’ as evidence regarding illegal political financing and collusion. The memo is a handwritten memo written by Lee Mong-ju, director of Cheonhwa Dongin No. 4, and the prosecution explained that it is the date and amount of money that Lee delivered to lawyer Jeong Min-yong. In the memo, ‘4/25 1, 5/31 5, 6 1, 8/2 14300’ is written, respectively, 100 million won on April 25th, 500 million won on May 31st, 100 million won in June, and 100 million won in August. Prosecutors argued that this means that they delivered 143 million won in political funds on the 2nd.
The prosecution also argued that the numbers such as ‘God 4350’ and ‘5000/1000/4000/10000/5000’ written at the bottom of the memo were illegal political funds. Prosecutors explained that Shin means that Nam-wook paid the construction fee to the construction company that signed the construction contract and received 43.5 million won.
Regarding this, former deputy director Kim’s side completely denied the allegation. Regarding Mr. Lee’s memo, Kim’s lawyer said, “If Mr. Lee delivered 100 million won to Attorney Jeong on April 25, at least Dong-gyu Yoo, former head of the planning division of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, gave the money to former vice-president Kim. It has to be following that,” he said. “The prosecution still says it’s around April (when former Vice-Chief Kim received the money). The prosecutors also refuted that it is a dilemma.”
Former Deputy Director Kim was arrested and indicted on charges of receiving money and other valuables from Nam four times in the name of presidential election funds (violation of the Political Fund Act) in collusion with former general manager Yoo and attorney Jeong between April and August 2021, before and following the primary for the Democratic Party presidential candidate. . He is also accused of accepting a total of 190 million won (bribe under the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Crimes) from Head Jeon Yoo in return for providing convenience related to the establishment of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation and the Daejang-dong development project.
