police investigating the allegation of preferential treatment for Daejang-dong has started to pursue lawyer Nam-wook, who is at the center of the case.

order to find out the whereabouts of Attorney Nam-wook, the owner of Cheonhwa-dongin No. 4, an affiliated company of Hwacheon Daeyu, the police have requested cooperation with Interpol.



Attorney Nam was involved in the Daejang-dong development project from the beginning, earning more than 100 billion won in dividend profits, but it is known that he fled to the United States just before the Chuseok holiday last month.



On the 7th, the police sent an official letter containing the personal information of the lawyer and the country where he was expected to escape to Interpol on the 7th.



Police believe that Mr. Nam resides in the United States, but the exact state he is in is not specified.



Currently, it has requested cooperation in the pursuit of non-compulsory foreign residents, but later, if an arrest warrant for Nam is attached, it is possible to take measures such as a red wanted for Interpol to secure new recruits.



Earlier, the prosecution also requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to invalidate Nam's passport, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also considering whether to notify Nam's return of the passport.



It seems that the prosecution and the police, which are investigating the Daejang-dong allegation at the same time, are pressing the lawyer to return to Korea at the same time.



As the invalidation of passport can be requested against a person who has committed a crime punishable by a sentence of three years or more, it is interpreted that the prosecution considers Nam lawyer as a suspect who can receive a sentence of three years or more.



If Nam's new recruits are secured in the form of voluntary return or deportation, it is expected to spur the investigation into the Daejang-dong project preferential treatment and lobbying based on the account books of Cheonhwa-dongin No.
