The arrest warrant requested by the prosecution for Kang Rae-gu, the head of the Korea Auditors Association, a key suspect in the case of the Democratic Party’s ‘party convention money envelope’ case, was dismissed. As a result, there is an analysis that there may be setbacks in the prosecution’s investigation, which Song Young-gil was trying to continue as former Democratic Party representative in the future.
On the night of the 21st, Seoul Central District Court Chief Judge Yoon Jae-nam, in charge of warrants, said, “It is difficult to conclude that the suspect attempted to destroy evidence himself following the seizure and search, or that he persuaded other related persons to destroy evidence and make false statements.” It is difficult to conclude that the suspect has destroyed or is expected to destroy evidence to the extent that it affects the investigation.”
Prosecutors immediately objected. The 2nd Anti-Corruption Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-chul) made a statement at the dawn of the 22nd and said, “Circumstances have been revealed in which the suspect, who played a leading role in the entire process of distributing money and valuables, attempted to match words and conciliate with accomplices in order to cover up the crime. , even resulted in the actual destruction of evidence between the accomplices. He also emphasized, “We plan to continue the investigation quickly and strictly, including reviewing the request for a warrant through a reinforced investigation.”
Prosecutors plan to re-apply for an arrest warrant by additionally investigating the situation in which Chairman Kang spoke on the phone with Mr. Kim, a so-called “sponsor,” before and following the search and seizure.
In addition, the prosecution is said to have banned the departure of nine suspects in the money envelope incident, including Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Kwan-seok and Chairman Kang.
Regarding what former CEO Song said at a press conference on his return on the 24th, “Please summon me immediately following returning home,” the prosecution decided to finish the investigation into the donors of the money envelopes first and then summon former CEO Song to investigate. did. An official from the prosecution said, “Regardless of former CEO Song’s return, the investigation will be carried out according to the originally planned schedule.”
