Yesterday (22nd), the police confiscated a manufacturer in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, where Congressman Ki-yoon Kang served as the CEO, and a related company whose wife and son were the largest shareholders.
In 2018, Congressman Kang bought 24,000 pyeong from Pier 2 in Jinhae Port, Gyeongnam for 27 billion won, which is half of the appraised amount.
Since then, it has sold 6,000 pyeong two times and is under suspicion of collecting a market profit of 3 billion won.
Rep. Kang did not come up with a clear position.
The police are currently investigating allegations of speculation by 10 lawmakers, including Assemblyman Kang.
As all the accusers and complaints have been investigated, forced investigations against other lawmakers are expected to begin soon.
A former Administrative City Commissioner, Moo Moo, who is accused of buying Sejong City land by stealing development information in advance, was also summoned today.
In the midst of this, suspicion of bribery by the Seoul Housing and Urban Corporation and SH employees also arose.
He said that he collected money and money in exchange for handing over the inside information related to the development of the housing district to the real estate agent.
After an internal investigation, the police confiscated and searched SH headquarters and regional centers.
[Today's seizure and search, which department did you do?]
To date, there are three known employees on the investigation line, but the possibility of an increase in the size of bribery during the investigation cannot be ruled out.
