The first test was conducted by management, including Kim Jae-hyun, CEO of Optimus Asset Management, who was brought to trial on 1 trillion won fund fraud charges. Rep. Kim argued that the list of suspected political and relationship lobbying suspects that have recently been diverted is just a separate list of phone numbers, and that rights of defense are being violated due to content unrelated to the fraud case. Reporter Na Hye-in reports. The first trial took place in the fund fraud case of five executives, including CEO Kim Jae-hyun, amid the investigation into the Optimus lobby’s suspicion. The four main offenders, including Chief Executive Officer Kim, as well as Director Song Mo, who was incarcerated, appeared in court. They are accused of investing in accounts receivable from public institutions, and after raising 1.4 trillion won from 3,000 people, they are accused of buying or using bad debts. In the first trial, the defendants, like the preparatory date, handed over the responsibilities of the others and denied some charges. Although this is a trial for a fund fraud case, he also actively expressed opinions on the suspicion of lobbying in politics and relationships, which is currently being investigated by the prosecution. Representative Kim’s lawyer stated that only unilateral complaints were reported in the media and that the rights of the defense were violated as if Kim had led the lobby. Those involved in the conflict of interest case revealed their dissatisfaction that only fragmentary facts are being expanded or distorted by the leakage of evidence. Representative Kim’s side completely denied the allegations of lobbying for political relationships, including over the phone with YTN. We did sales activities within the legal sphere, but we never solved the problem by pressing for money. He explained that the so-called lobby list, where the real names of the officials in the relationships were written, was a separate list of key personnel among the contact details that CEO Kim had. He claimed that the “ document to remedy defects in the funds ”, which unleashed the alleged lobbying, was also included in the investment and advisory group, which put it in danger of misunderstanding by financial authorities. CEO Kim and other executives who are holding each other accountable also dismissed that they were unaware of the lobbying allegations. The next trial will be followed by regular witnesses from members of the fund and FSS officials.
