It is a third-party bribery charge that the police applied to Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, when the police notified the prosecution of the results of the supplementary investigation in relation to the 'Songnam FC sponsorship allegation'.



In 2015, Seongnam Mayor Lee gave convenience, such as changing the 3,000 pyeong of Jeongja-dong Hospital in Bundang-gu owned by Doosan E&C to commercial use. It was decided that the allegation was admitted to the allegation of crossing over.



Accordingly, the police applied the same charges to the Seongnam City Hall official who led the project at the time, and Lee Mo, the then CEO of Doosan E&C, was also charged with bribery.



Previously, the police overturned the investigation results one year after the police made a decision not to appeal due to insufficient evidence in September last year.



The police explained that new statements were made during the second investigation at the request of the prosecution's supplementary investigation, and related evidence was secured through search and seizure.



During the first investigation, CEO Lee completely denied the allegations through a written answer, but the police did not summon Lee or investigate in writing during the second investigation.



The Democratic Party protested against this as "the third attempt to kill Lee Jae-myung by the government and the prosecution", and the People's Power responded, "The truth about the past administration's investigation into care is being revealed."
