Police, last year Lee Jun-seok’innocent charges’… Prosecution opinion sent
“It looks like an investigation will begin in earnest.”
Representative Yoo Sang-beom, who was recently appointed as the chief spokesman for People’s Power, predicted that former CEO Lee Jun-seok would soon be summoned and investigated by the prosecution. This is regarding the part that the police sent to the prosecution last year with the opinion of prosecution for the ‘innocent allegation’ of former CEO Lee.
On the 14th, Rep. Yoo said on MBC Radio’s ‘Kim Jong-bae’s Attention’, the host said, ‘It has been several months since the police sent Lee to the prosecution with an opinion of indictment on the false charge. When asked, “Does it usually take this long?”, he said, “Recently, the former CEO Lee’s side accused Garosero Research Institute (Ka Se-yeon) of defamation charges. It seems that the investigation has been delayed because of this.”
Then, when the host said, “Because the (defamation) case has been concluded,” Rep. Yoo said, “(Now) it seems that the investigation will begin in earnest. It is expected that the summons will not be investigated first.”
Previously, when Ka Se-yeon revealed through YouTube in December 2021 that former CEO Lee had received sexual favors from iKAIST CEO Seong-jin Kim in 2013, former CEO Ka Se-yeon, lawyer Kang Yong-seok and former reporter Kim Se-eui, violated the Information and Communications Network Act (for false information). sued for defamation).
In response, Attorney Kang Shin-eop, the legal representative of CEO Kim Seong-jin, filed a counter-indictment in August of last year, saying, “I filed a complaint once morest Ka Se-yeon even though it was confirmed that former CEO Lee received sexual entertainment.” Accusation of innocence is a crime established when false information is reported for the purpose of causing another person to be subject to criminal or disciplinary action.
In October of last year, the police decided to send former CEO Lee to the prosecution with an opinion of indictment on the charges of false accusation, and former CEO Lee said, “I deny the charges of being sent.”
