Ahead of the 20th presidential election, the police launched an investigation into a man and woman who had them put up about 70 banners slandering Kim Gun-hee, the wife of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol.
On the 9th, Incheon Central Police Station seized and searched the homes and vehicles of a man in his 50s and a woman in his 40s, who are accused of violating the Public Official Election Act, and secured cell phones and banners.
Person A is accused of having to install banners in about 70 places in Incheon in December of last year and in January stating, 'Immediately investigate Kim Gun-hee's false career and fake history'.
After receiving complaints from the Bupyeong-gu Election Commission and citizens' reports, the police identified the identity of Mr. A, who requested the installation of the banner through CCTV.
The police plan to call Mr. A to investigate the exact circumstances and motives of the crime.
The Public Official Election Act stipulates that from 180 days before the election day to the day of the election, no facility to be installed to influence the election by specifying the name of a political party, candidate's name, photograph, or other inferred content is prohibited.
