Democratic Party leader Nak-Yeon Lee called for a thorough investigation to the prosecution, saying that various suspicions were raised regarding the'Lime-Optimus asset management case'.

Lee said that he will respond firmly to unfounded false claims and suspicions.
The opposition party stressed that the case is shifting to power-type corruption and that the prosecution should provide the results of an investigation that the people can trust.

Furthermore, he argued that if the results of the investigation were insufficient, a special prosecutor should also be reviewed.
In today's national audit, this issue was intensively raised along with the issue of incomplete Lime and Optimus sales and poor operation.
At the Ministry of Justice's Bureau of Justice, where Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae was present in person, the allegation of Choo's son's preferential vacation for military service is an issue.
Earlier, the people's power applied for more than 20 general witnesses in relation to this suspicion, but the Democratic Party rejected all, saying, "There is no precedent for adopting witnesses in the matter under investigation."
