Prosecutors investigating the Daejang-dong case mentioned for the first time the need to investigate Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung.

It is said that an investigation is needed regarding the charges of the arrested Jeong Jin-sang.

The detention review requested by Chief Jung will be held on the afternoon of the 23rd.

Kim Yong, vice president of the Democratic Research Institute, and Jeong Jin-sang, head of the Political Coordination Office, the representative of the Democratic Party, were prosecuted or arrested for accepting back money from Daejang-dong businessmen.

The prosecution defined the criminal nature of the two as the privatization of local autonomy.

It is an incident in which a public official pursued private interests by colluding with a private business operator through the medium of the power of the local government.

When asked by reporters about the plan to investigate whether Lee was aware of the exercise of authority by his aides, an official from the prosecution replied, "Of course it is necessary."

The fact that Chief Jung's close relationship with the blacksmith was that he was the closest aide to CEO Lee Jae-myeong, so it is the intention that Lee's investigation is necessary.

The prosecution further explained that it meant investigating CEO Lee's 'relevance' to Chief Chung's charges, and that it did not mean that it was necessary to directly investigate Lee, but in fact, it was interpreted as implying that Lee's investigation was inevitable.

Prosecutors seized and searched the Gyeonggi Provincial Office to secure e-mails from Chung's days as the head of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office.

The review for the adequacy of arrest requested by Chief Chung will be held this afternoon.

In the midst of this, in the preliminary arrest warrant of Chief Jung, during the Daejang-dong investigation last year, Chief Jung pressured former head Dong-gyu Yoo to the effect of "we will pretend not to know and drive to personal corruption, and we will push the election on our own, so know that." This fact was also revealed.
