Now, the interest is how the 800 million won that the detained Deputy Director Kim received was handed over and where it was spent.

Prosecutors defined this money as Lee Jae-myung's presidential election fund, but it was confirmed that Vice-Chairman Kim requested money from former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu, saying, "I am going around Gwangju early last year."

Next is reporter Ahn Hee-jae.

] Kim Yong-gyu, deputy director of the Institute for Democracy, requested 2 billion won from the former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation Dong-gyu Yoo in February last year, the prosecution found out.

Of this, 840 million won actually went over, and the prosecution defined the nature of this money as the presidential election fund for Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung.

One of the grounds was confirmed by SBS coverage that it was the statement of former general manager Yoo that Vice-Chairman Kim asked for money saying, "I'm going around Gwangju."

Prosecutors interpreted this as a request for funds necessary for the primary election for the Democratic presidential nominee and included it in the arrest warrant for Kim.

CEO Jae-myung Lee visited the Gwangju and Honam areas several times between January of last year and August of last year, when the preliminary elections were over, and worked hard to strengthen the public mind.

Camp personnel also visited Gwangju separately on behalf of Lee, who had to do the cleaning work as an incumbent governor.

Prosecutors are also said to have secured material evidence.

In particular, Mr. Lee, who is lawyer Nam Wook's money transfer book, left a memo recording the time, place, and amount of the money, and it is known that he recently secured it.

An investigation team was also sent to the home of lawyer Jeong Min-yong, who was considered to be the place where the money went, and started to secure material evidence.

The prosecution, which has secured the recruit of Vice-Director Kim based on statements and evidence, is expected to begin a full-scale investigation into the source of the funds.
