“Jeong Jin-sang doesn’t play the role of the owner”… Rebuttal claims once morest former CEO Kwak Seon-woo
(Seongnam = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-joo = It was confirmed that the prosecution’s indictment on the allegation of donations to Seongnam FC included the contention that Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Jeong Jin-sang, head of the political affairs coordination office, were colluding.
According to Yonhap News coverage on the 1st, the 3rd criminal division of the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office (Prosecutor Min-jong Yu) was charged with exchanging 5.5 billion won in bribes in the name of Seongnam FC advertisement sponsorship in exchange for convenience, such as change of use on the previous day, on the 30th of last month (a specific crime). Aggravated Punishment Act (bribes under the Act), former Seongnam City Strategic Promotion Team Leader A and former Doosan E&C CEO B were indicted without detention.
Seongnam FC Sponsorship Suspicion is related to the suspicion of sponsorship of Seongnam FC, while Democratic Party Chairman Lee was the owner of Seongnam FC during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam, and attracted 16 billion won in donations from companies such as Doosan E&C, Naver, and CHA Hospital from 2016 to 2018. It is said that convenience has been received.
Doosan E&C is accused of receiving preferential treatment for changing the 3,000 pyeong of Jeongja-dong Hospital in Bundang-gu, owned by the Doosan Group, to commercial land by paying support.
The prosecution, which is investigating this allegation as a third-party bribery case, believes that former team leader A took on practical roles under the orders of Mayor Lee and Chief Executive Officer Jeong at the time.
As the prosecution began a re-investigation of Naver and CHA Hospital, which the police initially thought were not suspected, prosecutions once morest those involved in bribery are expected to continue.
On the other hand, on the same day, Mo Korea Gyeonggi Co., Ltd. CEO, who was the CEO of Seongnam FC from 2016 to 2018, posted a statement on his social network account and in a recent media interview, former CEO of Seongnam FC, who claimed that ‘Jung was the de facto owner of the club’ (He served in 2015) He refuted the remarks of Kwak Seon-woo.
CEO Lee said, “There is no fact that Director Jeong acted as the owner of the club, and the club has operated independently since its inception. It is to undermine the efforts of FC staff.”
He also said, “I am expressing my position because there is a fear that Kwak’s behavior not only seriously distorts public opinion, but also has a bad influence on the direction of the ongoing investigation.”
He added, “The employees fought fiercely at the forefront of sales to save money, and the club’s revenue can only be said to be the result of their sweat and hard work.”
Earlier, in multiple media interviews, lawyer Kwak continued asserting, “At that time, the mayor ordered him to discuss everything with Director Jeong and decide.”
