Let's organize this with reporter Lim Chan-jong of the legal team.



Q. Why is the Seongnam FC donation investigation started?



[Reporter Lim Chan-jong: It is said that the self-inflicted case of Kim Man-bae, a key suspect in the Daejang-dong development suspicion, had an impact.

Kim Man-bae, who is hospitalized, submitted a 4-week medical certificate to the hospital, saying that he could not attend the ongoing trial, so it is difficult for the prosecution to investigate Kim within this year.

On the other hand, a significant part of the investigation has been conducted regarding the suspicion of sponsoring Seongnam FC.

The relationship between the sponsorship provided to Seongnam FC and the approval and permission of Seongnam City has been proven, such as securing an official letter sent by Doosan Engineering & Construction to Seongnam City saying that it will review the sponsorship of Seongnam FC if the land use is changed and a company building is built. The prosecution's judgment is that it has enough physical evidence, such as the orders of the chief and documents left by the signature, that it is ready to investigate Lee.]



Q. How far has the investigation into the suspicion of Daejang-dong come?



[Reporter Lim Chan-jong: Currently, the prosecution is investigating matters related to Lee against Mr. Kim Man-bae and former chief Jeong Jin-sang, but there is no special progress.

However, the atmosphere inside the prosecution is that there is a lot of other evidence to prove the charges even if they do not testify.

In particular, in the Daejang-dong development project, CEO Lee Jae-myung directly approved most of the policy direction, and former head Jin-sang Jeong exercised his authority after receiving a delegate from CEO Lee, so this is the case for allegations of breach of trust that unfairly shifted the profits of the Daejang-dong project to a specific operator. Prosecutors believe that the representative can be held accountable.

Considering that the prosecution is the representative of the incumbent opposition party, it is expected that the investigation of Seongnam FC as well as the Daejang-dong project will be completed before deciding whether to request an arrest warrant or indictment at once.]
