The prosecution, who investigated Lee Jae-myung, is now struggling with the handling of the case.

The policy of handing over Lee to trial seems to have solidified, but there are many prospects that whether to request an arrest warrant or when to prosecute will be decided after comprehensively reviewing the circumstances of the investigation of other cases.

Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party, escaped from the prosecutor's office after a 12-hour prosecution investigation.



He said that the prosecution could not provide convincing data during the investigation, but that the prosecution seems to have been decided.



[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party Representative: It is clear that the answer will be decided anyway and the prosecution will be carried out, and many of those points were felt during the investigation.

In the end, the truth will be covered in court.]



As predicted by Lee, the prosecution's will to bring the Seongnam FC case to trial is firm.



In a situation where the indictment is a fait accompli, attention is focused on whether and when an arrest warrant will be requested.



Inside and outside the prosecution, it is an airflow that is largely narrowed down to two cases.



First, in connection with the Daejang-dong case under investigation by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Lee is additionally summoned and investigated, and then an arrest warrant is requested together with the charges of bribery to a third party related to Seongnam FC


.



However, there are also many opinions that there is no reason to delay the handling of the Seongnam FC case, which was virtually finished with this representative investigation, so it is also read that the Seongnam FC case alone should be prosecuted without detention first.



Then, if additional charges such as breach of trust are confirmed in the Daejang-dong case, an arrest warrant can be requested.



While the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is reviewing the direction of handling Lee's recruits by synthesizing the two cases, it seems that whether or not an additional extraordinary session of the National Assembly will be held in February will also be a variable.
