Bong-Hyun Kim, former president of Star Mobility [연합뉴스]
The supervision of the Ministry of Justice began in earnest on the basis of the “Statement of Internal Admission” that former Star Mobility president Kim Bong-hyun had lobbied the bank against “a prominent opposition politician.” However, officials from various investigation teams agreed that the investigation was based on the statements of former Vice President Lee Jong-pil Lime, not former President Kim. In the course of the investigation, former President Kim has never made related statements.
It was Lee Jong-pil, not Kim Bong-hyun.
It is said that it was through former Vice President Lee Jong-pil, not former President Kim, that Lime’s investigation team at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office obtained a statement about lobbying by opposition politicians. The moment was after Lee’s arrest in April. At the time, former Vice President Lee stated that in the name of lobbying the president of Woori Bank, he used the lawyer for the opposition politician who was previously president of Woori Bank and the alumni prosecutor as a lobby window. The gist of his statement is that this amount, which runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars, was prepared by Kim Young-hong (wanted), president of Metropolitan Real Estate, another “body” in the Lime case.

The investigation team was tracking the flow of funds after receiving a communication order and an account tracking order. At the time, Song Sam-hyun, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office → Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, reported that Attorney General Yoon requested a “full investigation”.
The problem is, former President Kim has never made related statements by investigative team officials. It is said that it was not necessary to cross-check Lee’s statement with former President Kim. It is a completely different criminal act.
The main point of suspicion of the ‘political leader of the opposition’ is …
However, in a letter from former president Bong-Hyun Kim in prison, “As a request for the resumption of lime fund sales, Hundreds of millions of dollars paid to lawyers, a prominent opposition party, who were former prosecutors in connection with the Woori Bank lobbying After that, a lobby was established for (for) Lee Jong-pil, the director of Woori Bank, and the vice president of Woori Bank. “Following”(Prosecutor’s Office) Although we spoke about it at the time of the interview, the investigation could not continue.He insisted.
In a call with JoongAng Ilbo on the 19th, the lawyer mentioned in the letter completely denied the lobbying allegations, saying, “It is not true at all” and saying, “We do not have a one-sided relationship with former President Kim.”
The research team traded in for autumn greetings.
An impeachment memorandum noted that the “salute” contributed to the lack of support for the investigation of suspicions related to Lime. The investigation was interrupted by a greeting from the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, in July and August.
Seoul Southern District Prosecutor Song Sam-hyun, who was conducting the investigation and reporting the incident face-to-face to General Yoon, removed his clothes to a high-ranking prosecution official. At the time, it was also said that the Ministry of Justice rejected with pressure to resign on Yoon and 23 prosecutors, motive of the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

Subsequently, the workforce changed even as middle executives waved. At that time, General Yoon petitioned the Ministry of Justice to keep the second deputy prosecutor for the South, Lee Jung-hwan, and the sixth director for South Korea, Cho Sang-won. This is because the research continues only when the waist grade is maintained. However, all of them were transferred from staff. At the time, the Southern District Attorney’s Office arrested Lee Sang-ho, the leader of the Democratic Party, and Saha-eul of the Democratic Party, who were considered the core of the pro-North Korean government for receiving 80 million won money from the former President Kim.
In response, a prosecution officer said: “If the investigation team changes, the investigation is inevitable because it takes more than a month to understand the work, so the investigation is inevitable. I would have had this. “Within the investigation team, it is also said that” public information was blocked only by the regulations that prohibit the disclosure of criminal cases, but the investigation (including opposition politicians) was sufficiently advanced. ”
On the other hand, lawyer Kim Jong-min, former head of the Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office, told Minister Chu on his Facebook page: “What is the real intention of attacking President Yoon and the prosecution investigation team? while surrounding former President Kim Bong-hyun, the main culprit in the 1.6 trillion won Lime fraud case? “You just have to monitor the investigation,” he criticized.
