The police investigating allegations of land speculation by public officials such as LH announced the status of the interim investigation. About 400 people are being investigated, including 85 former civil servants, including three members of the National Assembly. A warrant was re-requested for a Pocheon city official who was charged with buying a train station using inside information. Connect with reporters on the scene. Reporter Hong Min-ki! Tell us about the status of the police investigation. Yes, at the National Investigation Headquarters behind me, an investigation of a real estate speculation instructor is underway. As it is a matter of great public interest, this place is also very crowded throughout the day. Police announced the status of the investigation yesterday and said they are investigating 398 people in the 89 cases of property speculation so far. Among them, 85 former current public officials are known to have been included, including three members of the National Assembly. Of the 14 lawmakers who have been suspicious so far, three have been caught up in specific speculation. Previously, the Democratic Party lawmaker Seo Young-seok bought the land in Gogang-dong, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, near the third new city in 2015. Members of the same party, Kim Han-jeong and Kim Ju-young, were also charged with speculation when buying land in Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do and Namyang-eup, Hwaseong, respectively. People’s Power Kang Ki-yoon, Lee Ju-hwan, and independent lawmaker Jeon Bong-min have also been charged with abuse of authority and violation of the Public Officials Ethics Law. The noodle version revealed the possibility of expanding the investigation to other legislators who suspected they could not reveal the real names of the three. Will the Pocheon city officials, who have requested an arrest warrant from the police, appear in court tomorrow as soon as possible? Yes, it seems to be. Previously, the police requested an arrest warrant for Park Mo, a Pocheon city official suspected of speculation, for violating the Anti-Corruption Law. The prosecution, who reviewed this, sent the case back to the police last night, asking them to review the contents. The Northern Gyeonggi Police Agency requested a warrant again around 2 pm, after completing the work, including exchanging views with Mr. Park’s attorney. If the prosecution requests that it be returned to court, Mr. Park will appear in court to be tried for incarceration. An official from the North Gyeonggi Police Agency, who investigated Park, said that as the matter is serious, the prosecution is likely to request a warrant quickly and that Park will appear in court tomorrow as soon as possible. This is the first time an arrest warrant has been filed in a full investigation into allegations of land speculation by public officials such as LH employees. After the prosecution’s request, the court decides on the arrest and the consequences are noted. In the midst of this, the Uijeongbu District Court yesterday made the decision to preserve the confiscation of the land and buildings that Park bought. The decision was made two days after the police requested the confiscation. If this decision is made, the offender cannot arbitrarily dispose of the illegally acquired property until a final judgment is reached. In September of last year, Mr. Park purchased land and buildings in Soheul-eup, Pocheon City, where construction of subway line 7 is scheduled. Park was in charge of the urban rail extension project just before purchasing the land, so suspicions have been raised that he used the information he learned while working. In an announcement yesterday, police said 31 LH employees are also investigating. To date, there are 15 former and current employees who have been subject to specific charges, and 9 of them have been cited. Police also plan to call the remaining suspects for investigation within this week.
