Reporter Lee Ji-soo expressed his intention to reject this and reported that the former president’s proposal violated the solicitation ban. On this day, MBC Straight reported on the suspicion of “ separating work and giving convenient ways to give away work ” that a company founded by former legislators and brothers took over from their father’s company to take over the construction business contract and presale and grew rapidly.
The chairman of the Democratic Party Policy Committee Han Jeong-ae told a meeting of party leaders on the 22nd: “It was reported that the father of a former legislator had tried to dismiss an article by handing over more than 30 million won to a journalist. .
President Han said: “The law stipulates that public officials should not be offered money or other goods or marked promises to provide them,” he said. “In case of violation, he can be sentenced to prison for up to three years and a fine of up to 30 million won.” Journalists are also subject to the Kim Young-ran Act.
Democratic Party lawmaker Lee So-young said: “The judicial authorities and the National Revenue Service must thoroughly investigate the suspicions of the former members’ families, such as preferential proliferation of various properties and expulsion. It was criticized as a comprehensive version of corruption that overcame this. “
The popular power is silent while the Democratic Party and the Justice Party demand measures such as the departure of the people. On the 22nd, Ho-young Joo, head of the People’s Power, said: “We are currently understanding the truth. I am listening to the facts of the content reported in the broadcast and the position of the former legislators, ”he said. Seong Il-jong, a member of the People’s Power, also said about the suspicions surrounding former lawmakers on MBC radio ‘the attention of Kim Jong-bae’, saying, “After hearing my story, I will examine once if there are any parts to which the party can respond. “

The behavior of trying to block the report with money is also pathetic, but he criticized himself for admitting that there was illegality, “he said.
The newspaper said: “Former legislators must honestly explain allegations of preferential treatment of privileges and licenses, and if there was any illegality, they must take reasonable responsibility.” “If the accusations raised are true, it is a question of setting aside the position of the National Assembly. The judicial authorities must immediately initiate an investigation and investigate the truth ”. “The strength of the people must be investigated as soon as possible. He criticized that if he was strict with the other members of the party, but despised the members of his party, public opinion would be blamed ”.
In an editorial, the Hankyoreh also said: “In a word, it is shocking. It’s ugly to cover accusations illegally. I was amazed that there is still an attempt to silence journalists by buying them for a large sum. “” Looking at the broadcast, the former president repeats that he will give a reporter a large sum. I doubt that he has been doing this kind of black deal from time to time while doing business, “he said.” Attempting to block the report even when it proposed to give a 30 million won bribe raises suspicions that the corruption charge is true. ” .
Chosun Ilbo also reported on this incident on the 21st with the headline “No, Bong-min Jeon’s father, ‘I will give 30 million won, so please do not report it.’ The JoongAng Ilbo also reported under the headline “Jeon Bong-min, who was called 130 times the fortune, the controversy about giving journalists 30 million won.”
