The NEC has also investigated suspected lobbying for political relationships by Optimus Asset Management, which has become the prime minister of the government. It means that a company related to Optimus paid the rental fee for the MFP at the local office of Democratic Party Executive Director Nak-yeon Lee, and the possibility of violation of the Political Fund Act was raised. Reporter Song Jae-in’s report. This is the office in Jongno-gu, Seoul, used by the leader of the Democratic Party, Nak-yeon Lee, since before the general elections in April. In the office, the latest office equipment was installed, a multifunction device, which has been used since the general election. The problem is that the rental fee for the MFP was paid by an Optimus Asset Management affiliate, who suspected it was putting pressure on passport staff. The contractor specified in the actual multifunction device contract is ‘TrustAll’, a corporation. The company is actually owned by a person brought to trial on Optimus Fund fraud charges. Since February, the payment of 115,000 won per month has been contracted for the use of the multifunction devices installed in this representative office for three years. After raising the suspicion, Rep. Lee immediately clarified that the staff had borrowed it from an acquaintance and did not know if he had any connection with TrustAll. However, it is possible to violate the Political Funds Act just because Optimus affiliates have paid for it. The NEC also began to verify the facts. Since the donation of political funds by the corporations themselves is prohibited, it is necessary to know the facts, even if it is not until the initiation of a formal investigation. As suspicions of participation by the ruling party representative and the main presidential candidate are raised, the power of the people intensifies the offensive. Regarding the Optimus lobby’s accusations, the Democratic Party is drawing a line, saying it is at the level of suspicion. However, as the possibility of violating the Political Fund Law has been discussed, the prosecution is closely monitoring the progress of the investigation. YTN Song Jae-in[[email protected]]is.
