It is expected that the police will come to a conclusion within a month regarding the allegation that Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Jae-myung, misappropriated a corporate card.
An official from the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency said today (20th), "I think the 'corporate card suspicion' will be finalized around mid-August."
While he spared no words about whether Kim was summoned and investigated because it was a specific investigation, he explained that an investigation was conducted to some extent on objective evidence such as the amount of corporate card use.
In addition, he added that the first conclusion will be made soon, saying that the data analysis has been done to some extent after the search and seizure of Seongnam City Hall in Gyeonggi Province last month on the suspicion of 'preferential treatment for apartment development in Baekhyeon-dong' related to Rep. Lee.
In addition, he said that it will take more time for the investigation to be completed as additional confirmation is needed for 'suspicion of Seongnam FC sponsorship' and suspicion of illegal use of dormitories by Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation.
President Yoon Seok-yeol's wife announced that an investigation into the person involved will be conducted after further confirmation of the suspicion of the development project in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, where the company is suspected.
In particular, to ensure objectivity in the process of investigating cases related to Assemblyman Lee and President Yoon, Gyeonggi Nambu Office plans to deploy an intensive review team in charge of legal review and accounting audit.
