There is a possibility that the statement of former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu may affect other cases.

Representative Lee Jae-myung said he did not know the late Seongnam Urban Development Corporation Director Kim Moon-ki when he was mayor and is being tried for spreading false information, but Yoo is saying that this is not true.

In January 2015, this is a video of a business trip to Australia by Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader, who was mayor of Seongnam.

Kim Moon-ki, former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, who made an extreme choice during the prosecution's investigation.



At that time, Dong-gyu Yoo, the former general manager, was also accompanying him on a business trip.



However, in the broadcast at the end of last year, Lee said he did not know Kim,



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic presidential candidate at the time (December of last year): I did not know when I was mayor.

So, I was a subordinate.

At that time, he was probably the team leader.]



The prosecution judged this as spreading false information, and referred Lee to trial for violating the Election Act.



At the first trial on the 18th, Lee's lawyers also denied the charges, but the released former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu publicly remarked that Lee knew the former director Kim, and it emerged as a variable in the trial.



It is known that former general manager Yoo mentioned a business trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2015 and made a statement to the prosecution, saying that he played golf together and even rode a cart.



Prosecutors are also considering calling Yoo as a witness in the trial.



If former general manager Yoo, who was on a business trip close to President Lee, testifies with specifics and credibility, it is likely to affect President Lee's trial for violating the election law.
