Yoo Dong-gyu, the former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, who attended the trial, also joined the revelation.

He publicly said that the money he claimed was given to Vice President Yong Kim was money for the presidential election.

Deputy Director Kim denied that it was completely fictional.

Yoo Dong-gyu, former general manager, appeared as a defendant without detention in the Daejang-dong trial.



When asked by reporters if the nature of the money he said he had delivered to Vice-Chairman Yong Kim was the money for the presidential election, he answered that it was a campaign fund.



[Yoo Dong-gyu / Former Head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation: (Did you know that the funds will be used for the presidential election when handing over the funds to Vice President Kim Yong?) You know it as the primary election funds.]



The prosecution first publicly disclosed the claim that it was the funds for the primary election for a Democratic presidential candidate. As it was revealed, it was also claimed that the discussion of funds for the election among aides was conducted through the 'Jungmubang', a telegram chat room.



[Yoo Dong-gyu / Former Head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation (Last night): (There were several meetings related to the funds for the presidential election. There were meetings, etc.) Oh, what a telegram room.

(Correspondence room?) Yes, it is a Telegram room.]



He said that there were several Telegram chat rooms, including the Jeong Moo room, but none of the rooms contained Democratic Party leader Jae-myung Lee.



To the report that the prosecution secured material documents such as bags and boxes used to deliver money, Vice Director Kim asked how the prosecution could secure a bag or box that would have gone with the money if the money had been delivered. We answered with the intent that we are verifying the amount of cash that goes into a particular envelope or box used at the time.



Deputy Director Kim denies the allegations in the face of daily revelations.



Prosecutors will extend the detention period for Vice Director Kim by 10 days until the 7th of next month, and continue to investigate the use of his money.
