President Moon Jae-in instructed the Blue House to actively cooperate in the prosecution's investigation of allegations related to Lime Fund and Optimus.
President Moon said, "Nothing can be a sanctuary in the strict investigation of the prosecution. To quickly resolve the suspicion, the Blue House instructed the prosecution to actively cooperate in the investigation," said Kang Min-seok, a spokesman for the Blue House.
Accordingly, the Blue House said, "If the prosecution requests access records related to the Lime investigation, we plan to review and submit it."
However, he said, "The CCTV video data requested by the prosecution has passed the expiration date and does not exist."
The Blue House said yesterday (on the 13th) that the Blue House rejected the submission of data requested by the prosecution in relation to the Lime allegation investigation, "We cannot confirm whether there was a request for an investigation by the prosecution, and the Blue House access record shall be disclosed to public institution information. According to the law, it is not disclosed to the outside."
After the report, it seems that the policy of the Blue House has changed due to the date of controversy and the presidential order.
However, a key official at the Blue House explained that "the president's orders are only those of the Blue House," and that he did not emphasize the prosecution's'investigation without sanctuary' for the overall suspicion, such as the reinforcement of the prosecution investigation team.
