China News Service, August 31. According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim Hye-kyung, wife of the newly elected leader of the Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, was transferred to the prosecution on charges of dereliction of duty and violation of the Election Law on the 31st.
According to the report, Kim Hye-kyung is suspected of allowing his close associate Pei to use the government's corporate credit card to pay for meals privately from July 2018 to September 2021, when Lee Jae-myung was the governor of Gyeonggi Province.
According to reports, there are more than 150 public funds embezzled by Pei by credit card, totaling 20 million won (about 100,000 yuan), of which more than 20 and 2 million won are directly related to Jin Huijing.
Kim Hye-kyung is also suspected of violating the "Public Office Election Law" by entertaining party officials, his own driver, and lawyer in a restaurant in Seoul on August 2, 2021, after Lee Jae-myung announced his participation in the party's primary election.
The report also stated that the police did not file a case against Li Zaiming because no clues about Li Zaiming's involvement in the case had been found.
In South Korea's 20th presidential election, Lee Jae-myung ran as the presidential candidate of the Common Democratic Party, and South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue ran as the candidate of the National Power Party at the time. In the end, Lee Jae-myung lost by a narrow margin.
