We are here to provide you with an exclusive report on the Optimus case, where investors suffered great damage.
It was confirmed that the prosecution recently secured a statement that a person designated as Optimus' lobbyist delivered tens of millions of won to an executive at the Financial Supervisory Service.
He is different from the former FSS chief, who was seized and searched by the prosecution ten days ago.
This is the exclusive report by reporter Won Jong-jin.
<Reporter> The
prosecution has recently focused on investigating lobbyists who are known to have played a key role in lobbying Optimus' political
affairs
.
They were provided with hundreds of millions of won in office operating expenses and high-end foreign cars, and focused on what role they played for Optimus.
In this process, the prosecution is said to have secured a statement from one lobbyist that "I directly delivered the money to FSS officer A at the request of Representative Kim Jae-hyun of Optimus."
CEO Kim Jae-Hyun instructed the Optimus employee to raise 20 million won, and he received the money and handed it to the FSS executive.
Mr. A, who pointed out that the Optimus lobbyist delivered 20 million won, is now out of the FSS, and is different from the former FSS supervisor, who was seized and searched by the prosecution for receiving Optimus money on the 13th.
The prosecution is also known to have been accused of violating the Lawyers Act against a lobbyist who allegedly delivered money to Mr. A.
This is the first time a statement has been made that a person designated as an Optimus-related lobbyist actually lobbyed for money.
As another FSS executive's statement of payment of money and goods comes out, the prosecution's actions are paying attention to whether Optimus will be able to uncover the reality of the widespread lobbying against the financial authorities.
