In the last general election, a 7 million won fine was imposed on Representative Hong Seok-joon, who was brought to trial for violating the Election Law for public office. This is the first time among the members of the 21st National Assembly, that it is considered invalid. Reporter Heo Seong-joon reports. Popular Force representative Dal Seogap Hong Seok-joon in Daegu was fined 7 million won. Representative Hong has been tried on charges of violating the Public Officials Election Law in the 21 general elections. The court revealed the reason for the ruling, saying that Hong’s violation of the electoral law was “planned, organized and directed at unspecified electoral districts.” As a preliminary candidate for the general election, Congressman Hong made a public relations phone call in the form of greeting to local influencers and party members. In the case of internal party primaries, telephone advertising is prohibited, but he and his volunteers made more than a thousand advertising calls. Representative Hong also handed out 32.2 million won after entrusting the main functions of the electoral field to a person who was not registered as an electoral activist. Congressman Hong has insisted that he has never led or conspired with volunteers. However, the electoral clerks who were tried together admitted all the crimes and evidence presented by the prosecution, and the court also accepted them. If an elected official violates election law and a sentence of more than 1 million won is confirmed, the election is invalid. Representative Hong said he would consult with a lawyer to decide whether to appeal. This case arose when former legislator Lee Doo-a, who was running for the candidate of the Future Integration Party during the general elections of 4 · 15, accused him. In September, the prosecution put Congressman Hong on trial for violating the Public Office Elections Act and sentenced him to one year and six months in prison in a trial by decision.
