Jeong Jin-sang, head of the political affairs coordination office at the representative office, and Kim Yong, vice president of the Democratic Research Institute, who are closest to Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myeong, expressed their resignation today (23rd).
In a notice sent to reporters today, chief spokesman Ahn Ho-young said, "Deputy Director Kim, who was arrested for unfair political oppression, expressed his gratitude for the difficult conditions in which he was unable to carry out his party duties, and the party repaired it."
Chief spokesman Ahn said, "Chief Chung also expressed his appreciation, but he is under a trial for restraint, so we decided to make a decision after seeing the results."
It means that we will decide whether to accept the company after seeing the results of the redemptive trial.
Chief Jung and Vice President Kim are under investigation by the prosecution on charges of receiving bribes and illegal campaign funds from the 'Daejang-dong gang'.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party protested against the prosecution's suspicion of preferential treatment for the Daejang-dong development project and the investigation of Rep. Woong-rae Noh's suspicion of bribery as "political oppression."
The Party Prosecution Dictatorship and Political Suppression Countermeasures Committee held a press conference at the National Assembly this afternoon and said, "The ruthless prosecution investigation under the Yoon Seok-yeol regime is going beyond CEO Lee and his surroundings and is driving toward the opposition party and the former government in general." The Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office criticized, "Is it an investigation department dedicated to 'manipulation investigation' and 'static removal'?"
