The first trial was conducted by Kim Jae-hyun, CEO of Optimus Asset Management, who was brought to trial on 1 trillion won fund fraud charges. Rep. Kim denied anything about the allegations of lobbying in politics and relationships, which were recently released, and argued that the right of defense was violated by content unrelated to the trial of the fraud case. Connect with reporters. Reporter Na Hye-in. Today was the first trial of the fund fraud case, please tell us the details. Yes, the Seoul Central District Court held the first formal trial of five people, including Kim Jae-hyun, CEO of Optimus Asset Management, and management, who were charged with fraud under the Economic Crimes Act Specific this morning. Before the trial, only Optimus Song Mo, director, was the only one who attended the court. After repeating that it was not the journalist’s question about the alleged involvement of the Optimus Fund’s political relationship, Director Song went to court. President Kim and other defendants have denied some charges since the preparatory date for the trial. We had the same meaning in today’s trial. In particular, it was shown that CEO Kim’s side takes responsibility from lawyer Yoon Seok-ho, Optimus director, for some charges such as falsifying private documents. The recent suspicion of lobbying between politicians and relations also stems from the war of revelations between the defendants who turned their backs on each other. At the end of today’s trial, Mr. Kim’s attorney stated that the suspicion of pressuring politicians and relationships was irrelevant to this fraud case and violated his right to defend. Despite cooperating with the prosecution’s investigation, it was reported through the media that one side of the accused has conflicting interests, and is said to be being sold as if CEO Kim is in charge of the political lobby and relational and was responsible for everything. In particular, the court asked the court to warn of unnecessary misunderstandings, claiming that those involved in the case had leaked evidence or distorted only fragmentary facts to inform the media. In this regard, the prosecution and court also said they are concerned that evidence records are being released to the media in areas irrelevant to the recent prosecution, which will disrupt investigations and trials. Previously, CEO Kim and others were charged with investing in accounts receivable from public institutions from April 2018 to June this year, and after raising 1.4 trillion won from 3,000 investors, they were charged with acquire bad bonds and prevent funds from coming back. . In recent years, suspecting that they have exerted intense pressure on the political and financial sectors to counter various illegal transactions, the prosecution is accelerating the investigation by doubling the staff of the investigation team. The next trial, on the 30th, will be followed by periodic witnesses from related individuals, including fund members and financial oversight officials. Moving forward, a liability battle is expected to continue at trial. The scam case and the lobbying allegations are unrelated, so is there lobbying? The position is that there was no such illegal activity. Representative Kim’s attorney spoke to YTN today (the 16th) and said there is no money left in the area managed by Kim, at least regarding the Optimus Fund. It was argued that the so-called “ fund defect repair document ”, which contained the content that officials had participated as beneficiaries of the fund, was in danger of being misunderstood by financial authorities because of a former administrator of the fund. Casa Azul who was related to Optimus or some political relations advisers. After writing the document, I asked a former employee of the Financial Supervision Service if he could persuade the FSS with this information to correct the situation, but he received a negative response and dismissed it. The lobby list, allegedly stated by attorney Yoon in the prosecution’s investigation, also drew a line that he misunderstood the fact that Kim had a separate list of key figures among his contacts. Representative Kim’s side has repeatedly asserted his innocence, saying the prosecution has clarified all positions on the lobbying allegations, including the document, and it has already been presented as evidence in the ongoing fraud case trial.
