The people who requested an arrest warrant for exchanging bribes by the prosecution on the night of the 22nd are former Gyeonggi-do Peace Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young, former Vice-Governor A, and Ssangbangul Group Vice Chairman B.



It was confirmed that the prosecution confirmed that the evidence related to the investigation had been systematically destroyed within the Ssangbangbang group since October last year and decided that they should be arrested.



When the media reports that former Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young raised suspicions that SsangBall Group's corporate card was used, the fact that all computers in the audit room were replaced with a hammer and the hard disk was smashed with a hammer at the direction of Vice-Chairman B was revealed during the prosecution's investigation.



Prosecutors also confirmed that Mr. B, after receiving a report from a subordinate who came under investigation, said, "I made a mistake" and said something close to intimidation.



Prosecutors revealed this fact today during the substantive examination of the warrant of Mr.



In response, SsangBall's side explained to the SBS reporters that there was no systematic destruction of evidence and that Mr. B did not say such a thing.



Mr. A is accused of using the Ssangbangbang corporate card with the former lieutenant governor, and receiving close to 90 million won in salary from the Ssangbool side even though he did not actually work.



Prosecutors believe that the SsangBul Group actually provided money to former Lieutenant Governor Lee Hwa-Young, and that the aide, Mr. A, knew it and used it as it was.



Prosecutors believe that Ssang Bul-Bul's offer of money in this way was with the intention of gaining preferential treatment for North Korea and raising the stock price.



It is known that Mr. A denied the allegation that Kim Seong-tae, former chairman of Ssangbang-Bul Group, who is currently fleeing to Thailand, provided convenience to him during the prosecution's investigation.
