After the indictment of former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu, the prosecution temporarily stopped the investigation and summoned Kim Man-bae, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu, and Cheonhwa-dongin No. 4 lawyer Nam Wook again today for investigation.



[Attorney Namwook: (Do you know the 70 billion won scenario?) … … .] The fact that the



prosecution called the two people at the same time is interpreted as a final evidence reinforcement investigation ahead of Kim Man-bae's re-application for the arrest warrant, which was dismissed once.



Earlier, the prosecution promised to provide 70 billion won to Yoo in exchange for preferential treatment for the Daejang-dong project, and separately provided a 500 million won bribe for Kim Man-bae. I did.



In addition, an arrest warrant was requested on the 12th, including the charge of embezzling 5.5 billion won of company money, but the court dismissed it because the reason for the arrest was not sufficiently explained.



Since then, the prosecution has handed over former general manager Yoo to trial on the 21st and rearranged the charges related to the two people.



The charge of providing 500 million won in bribes disappeared, and instead of withholding the charge of breach of trust to Seongnam City, the promise of providing profits of 70 billion won was confirmed as a substantive crime.



It is also known that Kim's side is trying to include 5 billion won paid to the son of Congressman Kwak Sang-do as part of the charges.



However, Kim Man-bae's side denied the allegations, and it is said that the transcript containing the promise to provide 70 billion won was made in a biased manner and requested a fair investigation.



In the midst of this, it is known that the prosecution is checking whether the statements of people around the company that lawyer Jeong Min-yong, who was in charge of the work, directly reported the details of the business to the mayor at the time, Lee Jae-myung, before and after the confirmation of the Daejang-dong business is true.



However, Lee Jae-myung's side denied it, saying that it had never received such a report.
