In addition, the Democratic Party's representative Lee Nak-yeon said today (4th) that his aunt, an aunt of the party representative's secretary office, was found dead during an investigation by the prosecution for suspicion of supporting Optimus' multi-function device rent.
Representative Lee said, "I don't know how to give comfort to the bereaved family," said Rep. Oh Young-hoon, the head of the representative secretary, in a text notice sent to the reporters.
Rep. Oh said, "The deceased has been working as a vice-chairman of the party's representative office since September, and has been sincerely engaged in the investigation of the summons of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office."
"As a result of the confirmation, the deceased made a last call to his wife during a break for the evening during the summons investigation on December 2nd, and the contact was cut off." .
The deceased Vice-President Lee had a relationship from around 2000, when Lee was a member of the Jeollanam-do region, and played a role in managing the Jeonnam district.
Representative Lee's secretary to the office of the Congressman, Jeonnam Governor, is counted as the closest close friend who went through a special political affairs report.
During the 2014 Jeonnam Governor's election, he was sentenced to one year and two months in prison for violating the Public Officials Election Act (a charge of paying party expenses).
In this year's 4·15 general election, he resided in the Jongno election office and was in charge of organizational affairs.
Since then, I have been accused by the Seoul Election Commission for receiving payment for the use of a multifunction device in the Jongno election office from an acquaintance of Optimus.
