It seems that the decision on whether or not to arrest Deputy Director Kim Yong-yong will be decided as early as today (21st) late at night.

Our reporter is out at the court where the warrant substantive examination was held.



Reporter Park Chan-geun, it seems that the court will have a lot of trouble as this is a very sensitive matter.

Deputy Director Kim's warrant substantive examination ended around 6 pm, and now Kim Se-yong, chief judge in charge of warrants, is examining whether to arrest him while looking at the documents.



Deputy Director Kim is waiting at the Seoul Detention Center after the examination.



He is imprisoned immediately upon arrest, and released upon dismissal.



Deputy Director Kim's attorney said immediately after completing his warrant review that his crime allegations were not true and that he had sufficiently explained the injustice.

[Kim Ki-pyo / Kim Yong-yong's attorney: The



prosecution's crime facts are not true, so we have argued enough about the unfair point, and we believe that you will make a good judgment because our claims are correct.]



He is accused of conspiring with the head of the planning division of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation and receiving 847 million won from Attorney Nam-wook on four occasions.



However, it is known that deputy director Kim returned 100 million won out of 800 million won to former general manager Yoo since the alleged corruption in Daejang-dong began to be reported in the media last year.

Depending on the outcome of the court, the direction of the prosecution's investigation may change, right?



<Reporter>



Yes, as the prosecution noted in the warrant, the nature of this money is viewed as a presidential campaign fund, so if Vice President Kim is arrested, the prosecution will investigate along with Yong Cheo whether President Lee was aware of the fact that Vice President Kim was giving and receiving political funds. I see it.
