Behind CEO Lee Jae-myeong, who went to the prosecution today (10th), I saw many faces of members of the National Assembly.

More than 40 members of the National Assembly, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, went.

Prior to being investigated, CEO Lee read the prepared statement and criticized the prosecution's unreasonable investigation item by item.



Next is Reporter Som-Wook Sohn.

Representative Lee Jae-myung stood on a photo line in front of the Prosecutor's Office along with 40 Democratic Party lawmakers.



He begins to read the 2,300-word statement he has printed out on A4 paper.



First of all, the prosecution's investigation was defined as a manipulation investigation, saying that today's spot will be recorded as an inflection point in history.



[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party Representative: This is because it is a 'judicial coup' that manipulates non-existent crimes by bringing back cases that have been disposed of without suspicion and creating non-existent cases.] The



charges were actively refuted.



Regarding the 'third-party bribery allegations' of receiving donations in exchange for improper solicitation to resolve pending issues such as licensing issues of companies, it was emphasized that it was not a structure that could be used for personal gain.



[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party Representative: Is it really to be criticized for attracting companies to secure tax revenue and creating jobs, and for Seongnam Citizens' Club employees to attract advertisements and save Seongnam citizens' taxes?]



Former Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun By mentioning it, he nailed the investigation against himself as oppression of the opposition party.



He said that the prosecution had already decided on the answer, and eventually the truth would be covered in court.



[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party representative: 'Responsive Prosecution'.

There is no point in explaining and persuading the prosecution of the truth.]



Lawmakers who stood by Lee also added criticism to the prosecution.



[Park Hong-geun/Democratic Party Representative: If Lee Jae-myeong was an individual, I wonder if Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol would have come this far.]



Representative Lee, who had minimized his case-related comments at press conferences, took a detailed position for more than 10 minutes at the first summons to the prosecution. It is interpreted that the intention to respond to the prosecution's investigation by gathering supporters was reflected in the disclosure.
