▶ [Panda till the end ①] Where to put the material on the cart? ... President on CCTV

<Anchor>

I was informed last week that Mr. Lee Kyu Tae Ilgwang, who is not paying more than 20 billion won in taxes, is still going to be luxurious with expensive imported cars from luxury mansions.

One elementary school, which former President Lee Kyu-tae served as chairman of the board, was audited by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. However, on the weekend before the Thanksgiving, our research team secured a video that President Lee Kee-tae went to the school and took out various materials.

Let's start with what Park Jae-hyun's reporter has covered from what Mr. Lee Gyu-tae, who has already held the chairman, went to take on his holiday and what he took and what he wanted to hide.

On Saturday, without a class, a male in a private elementary school appears with two women.

This is the founder of the elementary school.

We take the elevator and head to the Planning and Public Relations Office where the aides of this chairman work mainly.

After the woman presses the password, she goes into the office and follows this meeting.

[School officials: (Who are these?) These are the staff of the Planning and Public Relations Office.]

The women in the school are bustling into the office with paper bags and office carts.

[Person in charge of the school: It was the secretary (Lee Gyutae) and worked in the daylight public service.]

This chairman is standing in front of the office, and he calls somewhere and then a male appears.

This man sees something with a female faculty member.

After a while, the women pull out a big bag and men pull out carts filled with boxes.

[Officials in the school: Because the schoolmate came and went, we found it strange.

It is the staff of the school that it has gone out of the administrative office room as well as the planning public relations office of the school.

Three carts.

The school suspects that smart school materials have disappeared.

The Planning and Public Relations Office has promoted the Smart School project under the direction of this chairman.

[School officials: (at the Public Relations Office) I have only a smart school thing. It looks like you've got all the relevant data ... ]

I was planning to invest 2.3 billion won in the school budget for this project.

It is a large amount of business that is close to half of 5.5 billion won in the whole school education.

It is also exquisite at the time of exporting materials.

It was only three days before the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education auditor.

[Officials in the school: I gave notice of the audit. I know that the documents came.

School officials are suspicious that they have omitted the Smart School materials in order to know the audit information of the DOE in advance and hide something.

▶ [Panda till the end] ② '23 billion business' tough ... The purpose is slush fund creation?

<Anchor>

The key to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education 's auditing was the 2.3 billion - dollar business that President Lee Gyu - tae had just heard about.

Although both schools and parents strongly objected, President Lee said that he had pushed the project, and the reason was reporters.

<Reporter>

In March, Ilkwang Elementary School announced that it would do business of 2,300 million won, and started offering open bidding method for business operators.

Business name is smart school environment construction business.

It is the idea to use the tablet PC and robots for advanced education.

School officials say that at the start of the project, there was this president who had no authority at the school.

This letter was sent to a faculty member on February 9, one month before the bid announcement.

In referring to this project, we are instructed not only that it is necessary for the school but also that it is a crucial issue for public relations, so that it should be a top priority so that it can be contracted before the end of February.

School officials said he was embarrassed by the president pushing the big business up.

[Person in charge of school: (If it is a smart school project) I thought it would be 2 ~ 3 billion, but I was given too much budget. So we did a lot of objections.]

Against the opposition, the project continued, and the school signed a contract with one of the companies.

It is the business statement attached to the contract.

Of the total project expenses of KRW 2.3 billion, the cost classified as Smart School is only about KRW 420 million, and the cost of developing contents such as robotics and English digital contents is over KRW 1.4 billion, more than half.

In fact, it was an English content development project, but there was no consultation with the related teachers and the opposition of the parents such as the school administration led to it.

[○○ Elementary School Parents: The money to enter is an apostle. It is not a foundation (money), and children and mothers do not want it. "Why do you work with this?" (I protested.)]

School officials say it is doubtful whether President Lee was trying to make a slush fund for the project.

There is a reason for that.

In December, a month after his release, President Lee held a conversation with his aides about how to make back-up money by purchasing textbooks using the academy affiliated with Ilkwang Academy.

[Lee, Gyu-tae (last December): The publisher has made money there since ancient times. (With a fee for the publisher).

[○○ Elementary School Planning and Public Relations Office Staff (an aide): So far I have not actually purchased textbooks, but I only processed tax invoices.]

As the school has contracted with a specific publisher, it is said that a false tax bill will be issued and in return the publisher will pay a fee of 15% of the down payment and the remaining 85% of the money.

[President Lee, Gyu - tae (last December): If the deposit is 20 million won, the commission is 3 million won. I think it made 15 million won. I gave it to you.

I also mention the smart school business in question.

[Lee, Gyu-tae (last December): A company that offers smart education textbooks comes in a comprehensive (content and amount)

As soon as the project progressed, Lee spoke out to the school staff.

[President Lee, Gyu-tae (last March 18, school officials): You guys want me, I want to do good school. I'm trying to get rid of money. These XXXX. You guys should be there.]

School officials have testified that they have been pushing the business up to the threat of dismissal.

[Person in charge of school: He called me separately and said, "The bill has been decided." But I do not get the sign of the directors. Then, "I will not dismiss the smart school business do it" ... .]

[Parents: I think this president thinks of school as a place of business. I do not have any money for this president now. It's really the last means of funding here. That's why I only saw '25 billion at once '.

This business that President Lee has been asking since the beginning.

In the end, it led to complaints from the Office of Education.

Regarding the release of the school materials outside of the school board's auditor's office, Lee asked the school district to inform them of the secrets they had to hide in order to prepare for the inspection.

In response to the consent of the Foundation's board of directors and parents, it has been a normal project to promote the 2.3 billion smart school project.
