Last night at about 8:30, Kim Moon-gi, head of the development department of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, was found dead in the office on the first floor of Seongnam Province.



Previously, the police received a report from the family that Director Kim could not be reached and started to identify the whereabouts.



Police believe that he committed suicide by delaying the fact that no murder was found at the scene.



Director Kim has been in charge of the development of Daejang-dong until the beginning of this year, and is known as an aide to the former head of Seongnam Province's planning division, Dong-gyu Yoo, who has already been arrested and charged.



In the past, when the Hana Bank Consortium, in which Hwacheon Daewoo participated, was selected as the preferred bidder, he participated as an evaluation committee member, and also served as an outside director for the construction company at the 'Seongnam Garden'.



Director Kim is known to have been under investigation by the prosecution for the background that Seongnam Provincial Corporation did not include a provision for recovering excess profits in the public offering business guidelines and business agreements.



The prosecution explained that Kim was investigated as a witness on the 9th and was not at the stage of reviewing the request for an arrest warrant.



Some bereaved families claimed that "Director Kim has been under extreme stress recently."



[Survivor: The company sued him.

You said that you could even claim compensation for damage.

Then he can't stand it...

My mental state has completely collapsed.] It



is the second time that Director Kim made an extreme choice while being investigated for suspicion of large-scale operation.



Earlier, on the 10th, Yuhan-ki, former head of the development division, was also found dead at his home before an arrest warrant was reviewed.
