Deutsche Motors Chairman Oh-soo Kwon, who is accused of manipulating the company's stock price, will be detained soon. As Kim Kun-hee, the wife of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, is suspected of being involved in the case, whether or not Chairman Kwon is arrested will affect the prosecution's investigation in the future.

Chairman Kwon Oh-soo, who appeared in court for the substantive examination of the arrest warrant, firmly shut his mouth.



[Kwon Oh-soo/Chairman of Deutsche Motors: (Do you admit to the allegation of stock manipulation?) … … .]



Chairman Kwon is accused of manipulating the stock price of Deutsche Motors from 2009 to 2012 by colluding with so-called 'players'.



The three accomplices who were designated as players were handed over to trial under detention.



In Chairman Kwon's warrant review court, the two sides fought fiercely over whether there was actual stock price manipulation.



Prosecutors claimed that there were hundreds or thousands of fraudulent and market price manipulation transactions between 2009 and 2012, while Chairman Kwon countered that it was unreasonable to manipulate stock prices for a long period of three years.



In addition, the prosecution claimed that the stock price manipulation continued until 2012, which is included in the 10-year statute of limitations, while Chairman Kwon's side is known to have claimed that the prosecution forced the prosecution to include a brief history of 2012 transactions.



Whether or not Chairman Kwon's arrest, which is expected to be decided late at night, is expected to affect the investigation of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's wife, Kim Kun-hee.



Kim is suspected of acting as Jeonju by entrusting 1 billion won to Lee Mo, one of the stock price manipulation players, in January 2010.



Mr. Lee was also requested for an arrest warrant last month along with other accomplices, but he disappeared before the substantive examination, but the prosecution caught him and arrested him last week.



Regarding the suspicion of Kim's involvement, Candidate Yoon's side completely denied it, saying, "I recovered my account while inflicting damage and ended my relationship with Lee."
