Channel A reporter's suspicion of attempted coercion, Lee Dong-jae, who is being tried after being arrested in the so-called ‘verbion collusion’ case, has applied for bail to the court to allow the former Channel A reporter to be tried in a state of disability.
It's been three months since my arrest in July, and the main reason for applying for bail is that "the professed adhesion frame is broken."
Reporter Lee Dong-jae's lawyer said in a statement today (7th), "After March 25, when former Value Invest Korea CEO Lee Chul, who claimed to be a victim of suspicion of professed professed criticism, stopped covering yesterday's trial, It was confirmed that the name of'Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon' was first heard."
Former CEO Lee attended the trial yesterday as a witness and testified that "I first heard from an attorney on March 25 that a high-ranking prosecutor connected to the former reporter was the prosecutor's office."
March 25th is after the Channel A press office ordered the former reporter to stop the coverage.
The former reporter's lawyer said, "Before March 25, the so-called'Informant X'Ji-mo, who claimed to be the representative of former CEO Lee Chul, and the former reporter met or called were not delivered to the former representative. It was confirmed," he claimed, "the frame of the sword adhesion was broken."
The time when former reporter Lee sent a letter to former CEO Chul Lee is also between February 14 and March 10.
Former CEO Lee testified that the contents of'Informer X'who met or talked with the former reporter were not delivered directly.
The former reporter's lawyer said, "Informant X, who put the former reporter in trouble with an inconsistent or exaggerated interview, made a wrong excuse and refused to be summoned by the court. "Do I have to endure imprisonment?"
Ji, who is known as informant X, is known to have met with former reporter several times, requesting ``recording of calls with senior prosecutors,'' and reportedly reported suspicion of prosecution to MBC.
