It was revealed that the prosecutor’s investigator A, who was arrested and charged with leaking investigation secrets related to the Ssangbangbang Group, handed over the details of the crime as well as the account seizure search warrant to the executive officer B, a former investigative officer.
On the 8th, the indictment on the alleged leak of investigation secrets of 8 sheets of A4 paper submitted by the Office of National Power Member Kim Do-eup of the National Assembly Legislative and Judiciary Committee from the Ministry of Justice on the 8th contains the background and method of how Prosecutor A It was completely contained up to Previously, CBS Nocut News reported that the reason for the emergency arrest of Mr. A and others by the prosecution, which is investigating the leak of double-deck investigation secrets, was found to be due to the fact that the account warrant had been leaked.
Investigator A was assigned to the 6th Detective Division (Prosecutor Kim Young-nam) of the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office to investigate the ‘SsangBul Group’s breach of trust and embezzlement case’ in February. About three months later, I received a call from Mr. B, an auditor of the SsangBul Group, an investigator who worked with me in the past, asking for information related to the investigation. Person B asked Person A using the Kakao Voice Talk app, “Please tell me what is being investigated by the prosecution in relation to the case of ‘Ssangbool Group’s breach of trust and embezzlement’.”
On May 24, Mr. A, who received the request, accessed the criminal justice information system (KICS, KICS) and read the contents of the search and seizure warrant for the ‘SsangBul Group breach of trust and embezzlement case’. This includes not only personal information such as names, occupations, and account numbers of investigative subjects such as SsangBall Group’s major shareholders and executives, but also detailed criminal facts that can be investigated in the future, and names and corporate names of financial account tracking subjects. After seeing this content, Mr. A copied it as it is, transferred it to the Korean word process, and printed it out.
On the same day, at around 6:30 pm, Mr. A, like Mr. B, made a call using the Kakao Voice Talk app. He said, “Senior, I have what you asked for last time. There is a parking lot 000 in front of our house, please come over there.” He delivered a printout containing the facts of the crime to Mr. B around 8 pm.
The next day, Mr. B handed the confidential investigation document to Mr. C, a lawyer who is providing legal advice to the Ssangbangbang Group. Mr. C created and kept this confidential document in the form of a file called ‘Ssangbull Crime Facts.pdf’. Mr. C is working at the same law firm M as lawyer Lee Tae-hyeong, who served as a lawyer for the Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung in violation of the Public Official Election Act, and served as an outside director.
On May 31, regarding a week following the secrets were leaked, it was reported that Kim Seong-tae, former chairman of SsangBul Group, suddenly left for Singapore. Prosecutors have requested a red wanted for Kim, who is currently known to be staying in Thailand, and the invalidation of his passport.
The bigger problem is that this leak of investigation secrets did not stop at once. Around mid-June, SsangBul Group inspector B contacted investigator A, saying, “These days, we get a lot of inquiries from the media.
When Mr. A learned regarding the fact that the investigation team was requesting a search and seizure warrant for the Ssangboll Group headquarters and affiliates in relation to the ‘ssangbangul group breach of trust and embezzlement’ on June 20, the next morning, Mr. Please refer to it.” However, on June 22, when the investigation team, which was supposed to conduct a search and seizure, did not carry out the search and seizure as scheduled, Mr. A immediately leaked the investigation secrets to Mr.
The crime of leaking investigative secrets was discovered during the investigation into the allegation of payment of attorney fees by CEO Jae-myung Lee. In July of this year, the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office of Public Investigation (Prosecutor Won-doo Jeong) seized and searched the office of Attorney Lee Tae-hyung, who defended Lee, and found that confidential investigation data of the 6th criminal division of the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office was stored on the corporate employee’s PC.
Earlier, on the 23rd of last month, the first criminal division of the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office (Director Jin-wook Son) detained Mr. A and Mr. B, respectively, and also charged Mr. C without detention.
