statute of prosecution for the case of violation of the Public Official Election Act related to the general election on April 15 is until 12 pm today (15).

To date, more than 20 active-duty lawmakers have been handed over to trial.

Democratic Party lawmaker Jeong Jeong-soon, whose arrest motion was submitted to the National Assembly because he did not respond to the prosecution's summons, was finally prosecuted without prosecution investigation today.

Democratic Party Rep. Jeong Jeong-soon, who is accused of violating the Public Official Election Act, such as accounting fraud, appeared five minutes before the start of the National Assembly.



[Jung-soon Jeong/ Democratic Party Member: (Do you have any plans to go to (research) today?)

(Last month) The prosecution said it was going to be present on the 26th, so the prosecution said it couldn't be



investigated.



The prosecution said, however, that it will continue to investigate other charges such as violations of the Political Fund Act and other charges of violating other election laws whose prescription has been suspended since the accomplice has already been prosecuted.



Therefore, the motion for arrest submitted to the National Assembly is also valid.



The Democratic Party is hoping that Congressman Chung will be investigated by the prosecution before an arrest motion is reported to the National Assembly plenary session on the 28th.



The Justice Party said the Democratic leadership's attitude was lukewarm and urged them to reveal their plans on how to deal with the arrest motion.



There have been 23 confirmed active lawmakers accused of violating the election law.



Independent lawmakers Kim Hong-geol and Yang Jeong-sook, who were expelled from the Democratic Party, and Rep. Soo-jin Cho were handed over to trial for spreading false facts by reducing their property. Done.



By party, there are 7 Democrats, 10 People's Power, 1 Justice Party, and 5 independents.
