At the time of the general election in April, a motion to arrest Rep. Jeong Jeong-soon of the Democratic Party, who was accused of violating the Public Office Election Act due to accounting irregularities, was passed in the National Assembly on the afternoon of the 29th.
In the event of rejection, a motion for arrest was passed with 167 votes in favor of the attendance of 186 people, including 186 members of the Democratic Party, along with the ruling party, while members of the People's Power who feared to use the stigma of the'Bulletproof National Assembly' were not present.
The ballot on the motion to apprehend is conducted by anonymous ballot, and the requirement to pass is'A majority of members present to the majority of members present' at the plenary session of the National Assembly.
It has been five years since the new Political Democratic Association's Rep. Park Ki-chun in August 2015 that the motion for arrest of active lawmakers was passed.
In addition, it will be recorded as the resolution of the 14th motion to arrest active members of the National Assembly.
Rep. Jeong Jeong-soon, who applied for a personal statement before voting, appealed that "I cannot agree with the prosecution's investigation method," but failed to draw a negative vote from fellow lawmakers.
Earlier, the Cheongju District Prosecutor's Office requested for the attendance of Assemblyman Chung eight times, but he refused due to the regular assembly schedule.
The prosecution requested an arrest warrant on the 28th of last month, and the Cheongju District Law sent a request for arrest to the prosecution.
On the 5th of this month, the government submitted a motion to the National Assembly for arrest.
