One of Optimus Asset Management’s (Optimus) key lobbyists, who had fled when prosecutors began the investigation, was arrested after five months in prison. The prosecution has requested an arrest warrant for Jeong Jeon and plans to identify Optimus’ specific seed capital raising process and investigate allegations of lobbying against financial authorities and financial sector officials.
According to the prosecution on the 26th, the Seoul Central District Violent Crimes Prosecutor’s Office (Director Ji-ae Won) was arrested at a local boarding house around 8:30 a.m. the day before and executed an arrest warrant issued by the court. From the beginning of the Optimus investigation, former CEO Jeong was singled out as a key party to conspire with the crime with Kim Jae-hyun (50, arrested on trial), but at that time, he was already in hiding, for so the whereabouts were unknown. The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office has organized a dedicated arrest team as an investigator for the Criminal Division of Violent Crimes to track his whereabouts.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (Director Min-Chul Min), which is investigating the Optimus incident, requested an arrest warrant for CEO Jeong Jeon on charges such as fraud and assistance with fraud and violation of Lawyers Law. . Jeon Jeong is accused of conspiring against the crime with President Kim, whose investment amounted to 106 billion won by Optimus of the Korea Broadcasting Agency in 2017. The prosecution is known to have applied a charge of intercepting money after to receive money from Optimus on behalf of “I will lobby to attract investment to Radio Agency officials.”
Jeon Jeong is known as a key lobbyist for Optimus, who was deeply involved in the Radio Agency’s Optimus investment decision process in the early stages of Optimus’s operation. It is reported that CEO Kim also stated in the prosecution’s investigation, “The person who linked NH Investment & Securities (as a fund seller) was CEO Jeong Jeon.”
It is a common statement from former and current Optimus officials that CEO Jeong played a pivotal role in Optimus’s business process, wielding considerable influence in the financial sector as well as investing in the Radio Agency. However, it was noted that the investigation into the illegal operation of the Optimus Fund and the suspicion of lobbying in the financial sector and relationships was cut off as a result of the prosecution’s investigation.
When the arrest warrant for Jeong Jeon is issued, the prosecution will verify the specific facts of the process by which Optimus led large investments by the Radio Agency and will question whether he has illegally pressured the financial sector. An official from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office said: “We are going to check for other crimes against women in addition to crimes filed against the warrant. The questioning of the suspect before being arrested by Jeong Jeon (the actual examination of the warrant ) will be held at 3 p.m. on the 27th at the hearing of Deputy Chief Judge Choi Chang-hoon of the Seoul Central District Court.
