An executive official in the city of Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, who suspects real estate speculation of 4 billion won, was arrested on the 29th.

This is the first arrest case in the real estate speculation investigation for public officials at the government’s Joint Special Investigation Headquarters, which began as land speculation by LH employees.

Uijeongbu District Law Judge Kim Yong-gyun issued an arrest warrant against Officer A, who was requested a preliminary arrest warrant for violating the Law on the Establishment and Operation of the Civil Rights and Anti-Corruption Commission , saying: “ The case is serious and there is fear of destruction of evidence. ”

Officer A attended the substantive examination of the Uijeongbu district law order (examination of the suspect before arrest) with his lawyer at 10:30 a.m. that day, and the court issued an arrest warrant after 11 hours.

The court previously ruled on the confiscation and preservation of real estate purchased by Officer A’s partner. Consequently, Officer A’s partner cannot dispose of the real estate until a final judgment is rendered in this case.

According to the Special Investigation Unit of Real Estate Speculation Crimes of the North Gyeonggi Police Agency, Officer A was in charge of the practical affairs of the extension project in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do for subway line 7 from 2018 to 2019, and Through internal information obtained at this time, he and his wife (Team B) were named jointly. He is charged with purchasing land and buildings worth 4 billion won through home loans and credit loans (violation of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Establishment and Operation Act).

A train station is expected to be built about 50 meters from the real estate he bought, and speculative controversy has been sparked using information about the development.

In response, Officer A said: “6 years ago, I first bought 600 pyeong of land from Mr. C, an acquaintance in the Soheul-eup area, and last year, Mr. C asked me to buy the 800 pyeong left at a fairly low price. I tried not to buy it, but at the time, I didn’t want to buy it. Mr. C argued that the restaurant he was operating due to Corona 19 was run-down in management and in poor health, so I bought it to live with each other. “

Minsik Kwon, executive director of the Judicial Exam Preparation Student Group, which requested the investigation, said: “It is said that you have loaned 3.4 billion won of the 4 billion won, but if you have an annual interest of 3%, you will have to pay 8.5 million won a month. It is very doubtful that he has invested what is called perpetually with this economic burden. “

Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki and the Minister of Strategy and Finance said the day to eradicate real estate speculation, “for the four major shocks in the real estate market, we will redeem 3 to 5 times unfair profits, so that the perception that real estate speculation will soon turn into depravity. “

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun emphasized: “All public officials for corruption in real estate speculation will be subject to arrest investigations and will seek the highest sentence in court. The criminal proceeds they have acquired will be fully recovered through confiscation. and the preservation of the collection. ”
