Jeong Jin-sang, head of the Political Coordination Office, completed the warrant review for over 8 hours in a fierce battle.



I appealed for the injustice of the investigation, but



[Jeong Jin-sang/Democratic Party representative, head of the Political Coordination Office (last night): History and democracy will develop under any oppression.

Our people will continue to move forward.]



At 2:50 am, the court issued an arrest warrant for Chief Jung.



"Concerns about destruction of evidence and escape" were cited as the reason for issuance.



With the arrest of two people whom Lee Jae-myeong, the vice-president of the Democratic Research Institute, and then the chief executive officer, Lee Jae-myung, believed, saying, "If Lee Jae-myung is a direct aide, shouldn't it be this much?"



Prosecutors virtually announced that the next target of the investigation would be Lee, naming Lee more than 160 times in the indictment and search warrant of the two.



The indictments and search warrants of the two men mention the suspicion of receiving money in the name of Lee's presidential contest funds or re-election expenses in local elections.



In particular, the prosecution believes that Mr. Kim Man-bae's share of 42.8 billion won in Cheonhwa-dong was shared by Yoo Dong-gyu, Kim Yong, and Jeong Jin-sang, who promised to share with the Daejang-dong operator. .



In the case of Seongnam FC, which is suspected of providing preferential treatment to companies in exchange for advertising donations, CEO Lee and Chief Jung are being investigated for collusion.



Investigations are also underway on the allegation that Ssangbangwool paid CEO Lee's attorney fees.



Given that Lee is an incumbent member of the National Assembly with the privilege of non-arrest and is the representative of the 1st opposition party, the political conflict is expected to intensify if the investigation targeting Lee begins in earnest.
