It has been a month since the investigation over the suspicion of Daejang-dong development started, but the investigation has not yielded any significant results. Aside from the arrest and prosecution of former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu, it is still difficult to secure new recruits from private businesses, including Kim Man-bae, the owner of Hwacheon Daewoo, who made huge profits.

<Reporter> It



has been a month since the prosecution started to investigate the truth of the Daejang-dong case by forming a large-scale dedicated investigation team.



Among the key figures in this case, Yoo Dong-gyu is the only one who has been arrested and handed over to trial.



The charge of negligence that private business operators took huge profits and caused damage to Seongnam City was not even included in the indictment of former general manager Yoo.



In the case of Kim Man-bae, the owner of Hwacheon Daiyu, another key figure, the arrest warrant was dismissed once on the 14th due to lack of explanation after the prosecution rushed to secure new recruits without sufficient investigation.



As the investigation team has not made much progress in securing material evidence to support the contents of the transcript of Accountant Jeong Young-hak, it is taking longer than expected to secure new recruits for the four men in Daejang-dong, including Kim Man-bae.



It is expected that they will be requested for an arrest warrant this week, and in particular, Kim's arrest warrant, which is expected to be requested again, is expected to include a bribery charge of receiving 5 billion won from Rep. Kwak Sang-do and passing 5 billion won through his son.



There are also opinions that Rep. Kwak Sang-do should be summoned first before reclaiming the warrant.



As the prosecution also judges that this week will be a turning point in the investigation, the prevailing view is that whether Kim Man-bae and other key figures have new recruits will be the yardstick for the success or failure of the Daejang-dong investigation.
