<Anchor> The



prosecution is concentrating on investigating whether there were any suspicions of lobbying from all LH officials in the process of selecting a Dongtan Lotte Department Store business operator. In 2015, when we obtained and looked at the business selection evaluation data, there weren't one or two that couldn't be beaten.

<Reporter> This



is the evaluation data for the 2015 Dongtan Department Store site business selection obtained by SBS.



First, in terms of price evaluation, the Hyundai Department Store Group, which posted the highest bid amount of 4144 billion won, ranked first with a large difference in score.



By the way, it was last in the business plan evaluation item, which included subjective evaluation by the judges, whereas the Lotte Consortium received an overwhelmingly high score here, overturning its inferiority in price evaluation, and was selected as the first negotiator.



The criticism that the results of this evaluation were not satisfactory has been raised since the 2015 national audit.



While the Hyundai Department Store was mostly negatively evaluated for reasons such as'we are disappointed with the detailed marketing activity plan', the Lotte Consortium was evaluated positively for reasons such as'It is judged to have know-how' and'Efforts are visible'. It is pointed out whether the subjective evaluation of each judge, consisting of university professors, accountants, and LH executives, was reflected too high.

LH explained that there were cases in which a problem occurred by a business operator who selected only the bid price in the past, and that it was evaluated fairly by experts.



However, the prosecution believes that the design companies participating in the Lotte Consortium's recruitment of the entire LH facility had an impact on the background of the generous evaluation, and plans to call the evaluation officials to investigate sooner or later.
