Court “Calling for felony charges, the case is critical”
On the 13th of last month, the door to Optimus Asset Management’s office in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, was firmly closed. Yunhap news
Kim Mo (55), one of Optimus Asset Management’s top lobbyists, was arrested on the 6th. Kim’s accomplice, 56-year-old Mr. Ki-mo, did not appear at all in the pre-arrest questioning (exam court order noun) held in court that day.
Judge Kim Tae-gyun, head of the Seoul Central District Court warrant, issued an arrest warrant for Kim, which the prosecution requested the day before, on charges of violating the Lawyers Law and Business Law, increasing the misconduct and fraud under the Weighted Punishment Act for certain economic crimes. Deputy Judge Kim said: “The felony charges have been cleared up and the matter is serious.” In light of the content of the evidence collected so far and the progress of the investigation, there is concern that the suspect may escape or destroy the evidence. ”The reason for the broadcast was revealed.
However, Mr. Ki, who had been asked for a preliminary arrest warrant with Mr. Kim, did not appear in court. In advance, he did not reveal his intention to refrain from attending or to waive the questioning. The prosecution said that it is highly likely that Mr. Ki was in hiding to escape and began to identify his whereabouts. The court is planning to reschedule the order review as soon as K’s recruits are secured. However, in the event that the prosecution ultimately does not get a new recruit, it plans to decide whether to issue an arrest warrant only by written review without questioning.
Mr. Kim and Mr. Gi were identified as responsible for lobbying counters in the financial sector, including Kim Jae-hyun (50 years old, arrest charge), CEO of Optimus, and were investigated several times by the prosecution. The two worked together with another lobbyist, Shin-mo, 56, who was the representative of an entertainment agency, and received support from Optimus for the rental of the Gangnam N Tower office. Furthermore, during the prosecution’s investigation, they were caught committing a great deal of fraud against Kim.
As Kee failed to appear in court the same day and contact was cut off, the number of key people involved in the Optimus incident increased to four, whose whereabouts were obvious. Jung Young-je, 57, a former CEO of Optimus Alternative Investment, who is considered a key lobbyist, went into hiding in the early days of the prosecution’s investigation, and an aunt, 53, president of Skin & Skin, who participated in Optimus’ ‘Blocking Funds’, also fled on the day of the order examination as Ki. Shin, who led the lobbying activities of Mr. Kim and Mr. Ki, also has an unclear location.
